A test of my moral fiber.
I was siting down when I heard scraping sounds. I suddenly
thought, there is a bird trapped in the chimney. How did it
get there? There was a lot of scratching and what sounded like the
flapping of wings.
There is fitted fire in fireplace so there is no easy access
to the chimney. I wasn't sure what I was supposed to do.
Ring the landlord or the fire service for them to pull the bird out
I have various tools that I don't know how to use. so perhaps I could
have freed the little bird with my trusty hammer.
The other option would have been to ignore the sound and spend the
next two days listening to the poor bird die. We are not talking about
a beautiful song bird, whose song fills the listeners with delight,
or a mighty eagle that soars above us. I doubted whether it was a wise
owl. It was more likely a pigeon and I was expected to free it so it could
sh*t on my windows again.
The sound died after a 30 seconds, so my moral character was not tested
(probably a good thing). Perhaps I am going insane. It would be cool
to see a colourful warped reality.
