Feathered visitor puts on better show than TV

Editor: Just a little story to let you know about an old friend of mine who visited recently. He obviously was unaware of COVID-19 and social distancing. I believe his name is Finch.

Just a little story to let you know about an old friend of mine who visited recently. He obviously was unaware of COVID-19 and social distancing.

I believe his name is Finch. He stayed for over an hour, however he became upset and my wife and I had difficulty understanding him. He appeared to have a mental problem and also visited the bathroom a couple of times.

We could tell he wanted to leave, however I was concerned about him. I called 911 and was referred to a government agency that was most understanding. An official arrived shortly with a large net and quickly captured Finch and I helped Finch escape through an open window in our kitchen.

By the way, Finch is a wild bird who had flown into the open window in my living room on my sundeck while I was watching TV. Finch entertained my wife and I for over an hour and it sure beat watching TV.
