"How do you get the bird feeder apart?" the distraught housesitter asked. A small, wild bird had gotten its head stuck in the large bird feeder and she couldn't get him out. We explained how it was put together and where to find the screwdriver. We figured there was a 50/50 chance of the bird's head being in the way of the screw. It was..... Sue's next suggestion was to take the bird feeder to the local vet clinic where the housesitter works. We asked that she call us when all was done.
Several minutes later we get the second phone call. She had been successful in freeing the bird using forceps. Good news but I was not prepared for what she said next. "The bird flew away...and fell out of the sky."

Sounds a bit like when you guys told us to put ta bird in a paper sack to calm it down before releasing it. Guess the house sitter didn't think of that. Good to see you safely arrived and are enjoying Scotland.
Much love!
John and Sue
