    Looks like the bird got to the almost-chilled wine and beer before anyone else did.

    And try not to be TOOOOO jealous, but I'm going to a party today also. With my in-laws! And all their relatives! And most likely NO alcohol! Except what I sneak into my purse. *WAHHHHH*

    herr herr!(said like Nelson off the Simpson's)
    Since I have this weird fear of birds, that is a beautiful sight for me. I would have to point and laugh, but I am an uncaring and insensitive bird-hating bitch like that.

    Have fun tonight!!!!

    Oh yuck. I don't think I would be removing the carcass myself. Ummm, well maybe if I drank a little.
    Enjoy the party!

    That might be the grossest thing I've ever seen. And we even had a bat, yes a BAT, under one of the shutters we removed when we were painting our house. EW. I hope someone else had to remove that besides you.

  25. McMommyAugust 9, 2008 at 7:48 PM

    1. I clicked on that picture to enlarge it. Yeah, I'm kind of weird like that. But I couldn't actually believe a bird would commit suicide like that.
    2. Even McDaddy was called to read this post b/c it was TOTALLY his kind of humor.
    3. What time is the party? Am I late? Point me in the direction of the bar.
    4. You do realize that BG HAS to make an appearance at that party, don't you?
    5. I like making lists.

    Why get rid of it....add a party hat and you got yourself a decoration....and a conversation piece all in one.

    Better see some BG with the guests pics tomorrow! Maybe BG and the bird....now that's a good one!

    That bird didn't commit suicide. It was MURDERED.

    Not really though.

  29. LizAugust 9, 2008 at 11:10 PM

    My initial reaction was OH MY GOSH!

    Then, like several others here, I thought you should leave it to see if someone noticed it at the party! LOL!

    And like McMommy, I had to enlarge the pic & sure enough...yep, dead bird.

    Ya know, I think we bloggers are like scrapbookers in a lot of ways. So many of my scrapping friends will have a weird moment like that & say "Oh, I can see a scrapbook page being made from this experience!" and they start planning the page in their mind. Not us bloggers. We grab our digital camera, start snapping pictures & think to ourselves "Oh yeah. I'm gonna blog that!"

    Oh my goodness.

    Yeah a dead bird hanging from the rafters isn't gonna help the party atmosphere.

    Death can be a bit of a downer!

  35. FlowerGirlAugust 10, 2008 at 9:51 AM

    Aw man, poor little guy!! It has definately brought two thoughts to mind... Yes, how did you get him out. He was obviously stuck pretty good. And, yeah, after getting over the initial shock of death, I think I would have dedicated that party to him. Put a hat on him and memorialized him... Hope the party was a blast!! Love the pergola...

    Looks like a good time. I am trying to feel sorry for that bird... but I am more sorry for you that you had to find it and clean it up... ew!!!

    Thank you so much for commenting on my blog and leaving your words of wisdom... even your comments are funny! lol I will definitely remember those wise words and use them often! I hope you come back to my corner of the bloggy world!
    And I hope you had a rockin' party!

    Ewww! We had a similar kamikaze bird catch himself in the leg of a wrought-iron plant stand on our front porch. I felt horribly guilty and removed the stand from the porch, after making Hubby dispose of the corpse, of course...

    Hope the party was fantabulous!

    Thank the good lawdy you started off with a picture of booze, otherwise I would not have been mentally prepared for that bird...

    But where are the pics of BG disposing of the kamikaze carcass??? The camera must have run out of batteries. :)

    I drove around with a goldfinch in my grill for three days until I had this conversation:

    Me: Can you do something for me that is kind of gross?

    Work guy: Sure (I love this guy)

    Me: Can you pull the dead bird out of my grill?

    Work Guy: (Goes and does it.)

    That bird is so sad :( I live in apartments, and the carports have.. I don't even know what to call it, fencing, I guess, to try to keep the birds from living up underneath them. Anyway, awhile back, a smaller bird somehow got above the fencing, and when it tried to get out, got stuck pretty much the same way your pictured one did. Very sad.
