I just went out to my car to find a dead sparrow on the back passenger seat - feathers and everything. Haven't a CLUE how it can have got there...Wasn't there this morning when I drove to work - had the window open maybe 5 cm on my drive to work. I did hear a noise but having just drove past a bush assumed I banged a branch or something... certainly didn't notice a bird flying past my head to an untimely death.

Fortunately a nice man at school helped me remove said bird... but considering the circumstances - i think i remained remarkably calm!

I think thats awful, for both you and the bird. i once had a pigeon stuck behind my fire, rattled around for a full day before the council came to remove it, thankfully it survived.

I have been told if a bird fly hit a window it meens you with have bad look ( superstition ). but unsure?

Does any one else no why bird are pain getting in to awkward place's? :confused: :confused: :confused:

Now you know how Pete Sutcliffe felt most mornings.

bad luck for the bird really... not a nice thing to find in your car I am scared stiff of bird,s hate them. glad your ok.

Iv got to admit when it came to clicking "submit reply" I did umm and arrr :|

Working for the council gas service you do come across the occasional bird behind the fire. They're usually dead but I did come across a live pigeon once when I was following one of the more experienced repair fitters as a trainee. Luckily it behaved itself and was easily put outside but some have been known to flap about wildly, fly around and redecorate your living room before being forced outside. Yuk!!! :gag:

Do you have a cat? If you do cats are known for catching birds and giving them to their owners as a sign of love. If there was a door open for a bit or something he might of jumped in or something with the bird and then left it there. I dont know. Just clutching at straws here . lol

We once had a bird crash into our Conservatory window, took it down to the Vet's on Holme Lane, Vet examined it and 2 minutes later the bloody thing took off flying round the room... Vet kept saying for god sake don't anybody open any windows or anything! :lol:

Sorry but I do think it was an extremely insensitive comment to make considering there are still relatives of his victims living in the local area.

I remember when I was a callow youth of about sixteen I visited a mates' house. When I got there, my mate's mother appeared to be a little distressed and said that she had just been up to her bedroom and was shocked to find a bird flying around the room.

Without thinking, I said, 'I wouldn't mind finding a bird in my bedroom - although I'm not so keen on sparrow legs'!

I suddenly realised that it was not the right thing to say. Luckily my mate's mother saw the funny side and burst out laughing - in fact she repeated this story many times afterwards.

Why did you need to help to pick up the dear departed little spuggie? Was it wedged in a difficult place or something :confused:

We occasionally had starlings drop down the chimney and out of the fireplace - they would go (understandably) bananas and charge around the room, leaving a delightful layer of soot everywhere :P Pleased my mother no end!

Im having a drink and its just made me laugh.

Im gonna have to start writing stand up.

After some time working away from home, I found a dead Magpie in my front room window sill, looked liked it had been trying to get out the window but couldn't because of the glass. Must admit I freaked a little when I saw it, a Magpie of all things :o Scooped it up with a shovel and buried it in the garden.
