So I forgot to lock the aviary gate...

[le_bwah]

...during a windstorm, and the door must have been open and swinging for about an hour. The birds are no strangers to hoping through the doorway when it's treat time, but I'm always there to pop them back in.

When my family realized what was going on, everyone geared up with pool nets and flashlights. My heart was in my throat, ready for the worst. But after closing the door and counting the birdies (and my dear brother double-checking every shrub in the yard ) it seems I have 0 runaways.

Just wanted to share and wish a little extra good luck into everyone's lives.

That sounds so scary! My anxiety couldn’t handle that but so glad that no one escaped and that everyone is safe and sound!
