parakeets on the loose

[sienamystic]

Spent a big chunk of time yesterday trying to corral a bright green and yellow parakeet that bounced off a window of the library while a friend and I were peacefully drinking coffee. The silly thing didn't allow himself to be captured. My crafty coworker whipped up a fantastic net but by the time we returned he had flown off. I wish him all the best and hope he evades the campus cats and the hawks that like to pick off pigeons in the area.

Back to aikido tonight. I look forward to hobbling around for the next couple of days.
