Saturday fiascos

Thursday something fell down our chimney. Friday we thought it had died.
But today it started scrabbling and i became nervous.. So Ben and I opened up the chimney to investigate , and ontop of the chimney balloon was an animal.

We shone a torch and came to the conclusion it was a rodent. (easy enough.)

But on further inspection we realized that it was a big bird. i.e a sea gull.
I was really scared. How were we supposed to get it out????

We phoned as many services as we could think of, but eventually the fire service came to our rescue.

It turned out to be an adult sea gull. Who had fallen and got stuck.
What a fiasco. Im glad it's over.
Thanx to Ben and the fire service.

It's a great advert for the chimney balloon to keep back a bird that large. :-)

You should have lit a fire in the chimney! After all, that is what fireplaces are for? Would have also sorted the wild-life out.

You never said what the firemen did with the bird afterwards? Did they take it home for a fry-up? Sim doesn't know what he missed...
