"Leave my bird alone!"

I should have posted this a couple of weeks ago, but... anyway, Mr. Man caught his first bird. At least we assume it's his first. Doug was leaving for work that morning and as he stepped out the front door, lo & behold feathers were everywhere on the porch. Before Doug even looked around for the bird, here comes Mr. Man, and he of course went right over to it and sat beside it all proud.

Doug let Mr. Man in the house, and quickly placed the bird in the back of the house in the garden area. He was in a hurry so he couldn't bury it. When Doug came home for lunch, there it was again, on the porch with Mr. Man still watching over it. Doug had a feeling it might be the same bird, and not a different one, so he went to check to see if it was still in the garden area. Gone! So it was the same bird, and Mr. Man was not about to let us forget it. Of course, I just cringe at the thought of it all. Sometimes nature can be so unkind!
