About a month ago, I came home from school one day and walked into my apartment. No one else was home. I'm putting my stuff down and I hear this noise in the kitchen.... like something moving in the kitchen.... something moving in my dark, empty apartment....

I look in the kitchen and I don't really see anything but I can still hear movement. Then out of nowhere this thing comes flying out at me and into the living room. To my surprise there is a bird in my apartment. A real, live bird. Flying around my apartment. How did it get into my apartment that was locked with all the windows and doors shut? No idea. Houdini bird.

Well I opened the door and left it to fly off on its own.

30 minutes later.... I am sitting on the floor eating dinner watching the bird fly from the kitchen to the living room couch and back again. Each time flying right past the open door. Oblivious to its escape route and possible freedom.

Finally I decided to take a picture of my new roommate. And not 2 minutes later the bird left. Apparently, he just really wanted his picture taken.

(he is on the couch)

* In case you were wondering, my roommates had the door open earlier in the day and the bird flew in. Then neither one could get it to leave before they had to leave for class.
