Oh dear, oh deary deary me... Some time yesterday or the day before a poor pigeon fell down into our chimney...
It was strange when I noticed Percy (my cat) sniffing around the chimney... I was hoping that his interest only occurred as my sister's bag was in front of it and he could easily poke his nose in the opening just above it which leads to the chimney. This however was not the case. He could smell the pigeon.
I discovered this when I heard the sound of flapping whilst I was upon my laptop. It caused Percy to jump back from the fireplace. Upon the floor was a grey feather, immediately I knew it was the feather of a poor wood pigeon. My second favourite animal, after goats of course.
We had to get the pigeon out. As: 1. I did not wish for it to die. and 2. If it did die we would get a fly infestation.
When father returned home he prised open the fireplace, opening it like a doorway, not too far however, as he did not wish to damage the gas pipes and cause an explosion.
It was not until the next day, today that is, that we got the pigeon out. Father had to grab it from further up the chimney with use of his motorcycle glove. When the poor soul had been rescued from it's ash-covered prison it could not see. The ash had temporarily blinded it. Luckily managed to restore it's vision after cleaning it and it's eyes and leaving it to recover.
Mr/Mrs. Pigeon has flown away now. Hopefully to live the rest of his/her life happily ^^
