A Narrow Escape

I let my cats out in the hallway the other day to run around.  They don't like to go outside, presumably because they are afraid they will never get back in again.

I had only let them out for a few minutes when I noticed I didn't see Jasper,  so I went back into my flat to look for him.  Suddenly, he came tearing around the corner with something just ahead of him, but all I saw was a flash of green.

It was a poor little "Green Bee Eater".  Yep, they are small hummingbird looking things that eat bees, and now one was trapped behind my refrigerator.  

I chased Jasper out of the kitchen where the bird was hiding.  He was scared and jept flying into the ceiling.  I finally opened the kitchen window, turned off all the lights and put a little night light next to the window so he could see where to fly out.  By morning the little guy was gone.

Little bird stuck on the side of my fridge.
Poor, scared, little guy.
I managed to get him closer to the window.
By morning he was gone.
