The real question is HOW IN THE WORLD did the bird get into your offices??

I once walked in on a bird in the kitchen...we met at the screen door to the back porch. As I grabbed the handle to open the door and come into the house he came around the corner towards the sound at oh, what seemed like 100 mph. I proceeded to end up flat on my a$$ as I jumped/fell back and stared up at the sight. My next approach cleverly used the door as barrier between the winged beast and myself as I opened it from the other side and he flew right out. Turns out that the bird had flown up the dryer vent, knocked that flexible tubing off as he thrashed around and then flew on into the house. It only took me one more bird, this time stuck in the inards of the dryer and scratching and flapping for a few days till he escaped or died (and is possibly dried up there to this day??) to figure out that I had to jury-rig a screen to cover the opening....ahhh, the drama of it all.

Moral of the story....I hate birds!

Flew in the conference room window down the hall... it was open like 5 inches...

Exactly why I have a Cat...;-)

Annoying, but hilarious. Something of the like happened to an ex-boyfriend of mine. He went away for a week and when he came back and went into his apartment there was a hairbrained pigeon flying aroud, franctically trying to get out of the place, only to repeatedly fly into the window.

Pretty cool that Gothamist gave you a link hook-up.

I once had this happen with a *bat*. Only the bat wouldn't land - it just kept flying around in circles so we had to crawl around on the floor scared like little girls. We eventually caught it using some drapes.

Great vid. I have seen birds in the strangest places.

Ha ha ... why don't things like this happen at my office? The closest story I have is being chased by a bat that lived in the theater of my old university.

To ThePinkPanther post, good job on actually catching the darn thing. I just ran for my life.
