suicide flier
a very weird thing happened yesterday afternoon.
i was chatting with a friend, patsy, on YM, when i heard a loud thud on the door. since i was home alone, i was paranoid that somebody was trying to barge in. so i didn't move. when i didn't see anything moving outside, i decided to take a look. i thought it might be a branch that fell from the tree and was blown by the wind. or maybe a kid was playing basketball by the sidewalk and accidentally throws the ball towards the house.
i opened the door. looked around. nothing. i looked down to the ground, there it was....
poor thing, he hit the door so hard, he bounced back a good 4-5 feet away from the door itself. i saw him in his agony, breathing so hard, his chest was obviously heaving. the sight was so heartbreaking (and kinda freaky), i had to close the door and leave him there, dying. =P
i went back inside and sent a message to je saying that there was a casualty on our property. hehehe! i had to wear gloves before picking him up. i poked him a couple of times to see if he's still alive, but nope. so i picked him up and placed him in a box with 2 holes in it, just in case i was mistaken and he was just dazed, he will be able to breathe and live.
that night when je got home, we checked him out, but he's really dead. i think he suffered from internal hemmorhage or something. there was a small blood stain on the walkway, and a small streak on our door. je said i should've traced his body with chalk so we could investigate what happened the CSI-way. =P
we still couldn't figure how he could miss flying over the roof, when the spot where he hit himself was about 2-3 feet from the top of the roof. if he was trying to be daredevilish, he could've just hit the eaves.
oh well, may he fly in peace.
PS. for reference, here's a pic of our house. note how far the door was from the top of the roof.

aww ... poor birdie ... maybe he's or she's already sick ... maybe something wrong with its wing ... so it couldn't fly high enough to reach the roof. :-( Or maybe, you're right. Maybe it was a kamikaze bird. :-P
Nice house by the way.

uh-oh. i wonder if i'd be able to pick up the bird, had i been the one who was at home. i am squeamish. and i guess i don't like birds. (dead or alive.) but it was sad what happened to him. maybe, there was something wrong with his eyesight, and he miscalculated. that's my theory.

hehehe! i just confirmed that i have a bunch of weeeeeird friends. all those theories are too much for me to think about. =P
please don't give him a name (pipit), we might get attached to him. =P i don't like birds (dead or alive) either, but i was so afraid that i might see a cat pick him up and tear him to pieces for dinner, so i mustered enough strength to give him an honorable "funeral".
