The office building where my husband and I run our trucking company has a hole in the siding that some little birds had gone through the siding to the attic to build their nest. This last week one of the baby birds fell out of the nest and was sitting on the dropped ceiling of the office. On Friday, it was calling so loudly to it's mom that I swear it had a BIG MOUTH. My oldest son went to the shop and put on hearing protectors to block out the bird. As I was finishing this card for the hop, the baby bird dropped through the ceiling and started trying to fly around the office. I was screaming while trying to shoo it out the door. Too bad I didn't have anyone video tapping it so I could show you.
