A little bird flies into where I'm working. Sparrows do that all the time so no big deal. Eventually he perched near enough to me that I had a good look at him and I realized I had no idea what he was. I figured a warbler or wren, but exactly what I had no idea. I was able to take a couple minutes and determined he was a black-headed green warbler. Here is what one looks like.

Trying to catch him wasn't possible so he just flew around and around. After many hours of this I noticed he didn't fly high or far. He was beat. I took the opportunity and managed to get a basket over him and some cardboard underneath and took him out back. I think he'll be ok, and to my kids I'll be the hero of the day 🙂

So now there's an exhaust bird outside where it's dangerous. He's probably going to be eaten.

Asshole.
 
I found a wounded pigeon last summer and rather than let my cat kill and eat it I put it in a box and took it to the local animal hospital with my son. He still talks about that to this day...much better than the, "I saw dad kill a pigeon with a shovel" story.
 
i thought the thread title was "today i am an hero"
came into thread and was disappointed =(
 
Where do you live? There's a story on the news now about a bird that got caught in a plane's jet intake, causing it to crash and killing everyone on board.

Nice work.
