I'm not using my woodstove this time of year except to dump ashes from the ashtray every once and awhile.
Anyway yesterday afternoon I opened the woodstove door to dump some ashes and out flew a bird!
The bird was about the size of a fist and quite black (from flying around in that soot coated chimney).
I instantly thought of the movie "The Birds" and half expected hundreds of other birds to come flying out!
But it was just the one bird. I opened the front door and we chased it around the house a bit, then it flew out the front door.
An interesting day. Never have had this happen before....
