Yesterday we are sitting on Connor's room and ask him to go downstairs and get his shoes. A few minutes later he is back upstairs with a horrified look on his face. "Mom there is a giant bird downstairs!" We think nothing of it, because we have 3 cats and they are ALWAYS bringing in dead birds, mice, and rabbits. Gross, I know. And I ask, "Is it dead?" and he relpies, "No!" So, still we aren't that worried, they are usually injured and not flying. Well, we go downstairs and it is a full grown, perfectly good flying quail! It was quite the experience. We tried NOT to hurt the poor thing, but something happened to it's leg in the process of trying to get it out. I was so worried (as you can hear in the video) of gross bird diseases that it brought into my house. We think a cat might have brought it in, and when Connor went downstairs, he may have freaked the cat out and he booked outside, leaving the quail. Geez.
After we got it out, about 2 hours later we went to Target and saw it limping around on Keene and South Highlands. I hope he was on his way home to his family and will be okay! Poor birdy. Connor couldn't wait to go to daycare to tell everyone in the world about the quail that got loose in our house.
