birds.

Yesterday I went to the singles ward to play the organ for them.  They called me as ward organist....<sigh>.

time for your imagine caps.  put them on now.

You know those commercials where the blackbirds fly into the glass doors?  Well the foyer door and wall is glass.  So I was walking upto it and this pigeon crashes into it and falls to the ground.  I was shocked.  I've never seen that happen, it was like an un-proven myth.  Well, the dang bird takes a few steps back and does it again....and again.  It was the funniest thing.  I was cautious as I approached the (locked, dangit) door.  It flew into the door one more time and then saw me coming and flew away.

Well, this morning I was doing work stuff on my computer.  My sister Melissa comes in and exclaims 'Dakota is feeding a cicada to a baby bird!  It doesn't know how to fly so it can't go away!!!!'.  She was super excited.   Dakota is my brother's best friend. 
A cicada- those little bugs that make those annoying buzzing sounds in the summer.  The males have these little triangle things that vibrate and that's how they mate.  Fun fact.

I get my music stuff done for my team because we are going out of town.....SOON.  I went outside to take it to work and David, Dakota and Melissa are freaking out because....
the bird got away.
David was holding it.  It bit him. He let go.  It ran into the street. 
It got run-over by a car.
Twice. 
Poor thing.  My sister 'Aria!!!!! I've never seen something die before.'  No crying, just shock. 
Well, there you go. 
Apparently it didn't like cicadas.
