"Blackbird s[ing]ing in the dead of night ..."
A big blackbird was trapped inside our building over the weekend. We are in a three-story “high-bay” building with a two-story high door. The door was open a lot on Friday so the bird must have gotten in then. The guy at the desk next to me let the bird out when he got there early this morning.
I think the bird lived on my desk and the on next to mine because some banana peelings had been left in the trash can between the desks. That must have been all the poor thing could find to eat.
It roosted on my computer LCD display and used my coffee cup for its ‘pot.’ However, it missed the ‘pot’ a few times so there was splatter on the display screen, the keyboard, the mouse, the mouse pad, and other spots on the desk. I took a photo, but it doesn’t really give the full effect. It took 30 minutes to clean everything. The coffee still didn’t taste right though.
