Friar Birds in the House

We had two Friar birds in the house the other day.

They apparently flew in through the carport and into the kitchen.

Not a smart bird, obviously. We opened the sliding doors to the verandah but they still beat their little heads frantically against the meshing on the louvred windows. Or flailed against the skylights.

Guy managed to catch the one on the left as it got stuck in the louvres. He took it outside and released it.

The second one settled on the fans. I chased it from one fan to another trying to make it fly low enough to go out the open doors in the kitchen but to no avail.

It too had to be captured gently and taken outside. Ungratefully ripping my finger, it flew off into the trees.
