We'll see.

Birds kind of fall down the pipes. I've never seen one fly back up it.
The only creature that can go straight up is a dragon and its been decades since I've seen one. (I used to be a dragon slayer before I became Sherlock Holmes)
I grew up in the country and we had a closed stove fireplace. Eventually covering the top of the pipe with a wire cap.

Bird unseen, stove lit
Beak tapping, Drew distraught
Bird flew out
Put away your kleenex
I've risen like the phoenix.

My money says the bird is still there or dead.

Smoked game bird, yum.
Be sure to burn some fruit wood or hickory.

I'm going to eat all the cheese in your fridge.

That is not a metaphor. It's a warning...

My money says you won't get passed the booby-traps.

That is an assertion. 🤗

Does it’s face look like Vincent Price or Jeff Goldbloom?🤔🦟
David Hedison was the fly in the earlier film. Think Vincent Price put him out of his misery when a spider was coming in for the kill.

Jeff Goldblum was superb in the 80s remake. Deserved an Oscar

Like yourself I’m a big bird lover 🙂
After spotting it I donned my rubber gloves to grab it but flew out into the room so I caught it by the window and safely released it. My chimney sweep will be putting a mesh over the flue cowl for me.

@drewnogal

On behalf of the bird I am filing a lawsuit.

See you in court 😉


@drewnogal

The bird will settle out of court for 3 bags of sunflower seeds...and some bread.
