Got a funny looking bird trapped and flying around in here...

[LeftyFingerPop]

Huge wing span, but it may only look that way because it is trapped inside.

It is making a really high pitched squeaking noise, and here's the thing...it is all brown and covered with fur.

It actually attached itself to the wall and is holding still for me to caress it.

I've seen sparrows do that, but I'm not sure what kind this is...

1. Have you had your shots recently?

:rofl:

[LeftyFingerPop]

4. Yes...I think so...

er....not sure

[merh]

2. doest it have teeth

and look something like this?



























:shrug:

[LeftyFingerPop]

3. Yes!! What kind of bird is that?

[merh]

9. a brown bat

they have germs and their pee smells nasty

I would suggest you put it outside and get yourself a parakeet.

[LeftyFingerPop]

10. How can it be a bat if it is hanging off my finger?

Only birds do that.

[merh]

19. upside down

it is a bat

parakeets sit up - they don't like hanging from their little claws.

12. I was fishing at dusk once and actually had a bat brush against my cheek

the only thing I can say is it was fuzzy and warm.

[LeftyFingerPop]

15. Roon, all kidding aside now, I had one hit me in the face when I was sleeping once...

Used to have a bat problem here...scared the hell out of me.

[Roon]

16. I like bats

we see them here in the city and at the cabin.

[LeftyFingerPop]

17. Yes...they are very useful creatures...

They should not be killed... if you get one, they say to turn on the lights and open the window, because they will head back to fresh air and darkness.

24. Define "bat problem". No snarkiness intended, it's just that

I was delighted to see a little 3 bat "flock" "herd"(?) swooping and diving around just at dusk yesterday. I think they're wonderful, and no problem. :)

[LeftyFingerPop]

25. Inside your living space...

in your kitchen, etc. I like them when I can watch them outside. :)

[madeline_con]

26. Yes, that would be a problem.

Maybe you can lure him out by turning on the porch light for a few minutes to let insects crowd around, turn off all the inside lights, and open the door. He might go after the bugs and you could close the door real fast. Try it. :popcorn:

[LeftyFingerPop]

27. This is why I come to DU!

[merh]

18. I once had a chimney

one evening a bat flew down it and the dogs went crazy - it was just this brown fuzzy thing that squeaked - I had to trap it to set it free, first I had to trap the dogs in the other room.

they are freaky little things

[Ptah]

5. We used to see fish like that.

[LeftyFingerPop]

7. I think that is the kind McDonald's uses for the fish sandwiches!

[Kali]

21. ...

:spray:

[tekisui]

6. That is a bad omen, get it out of your house.

[LeftyFingerPop]

8. OK...I'm out...on my laptop...now what do I do?

[tekisui]

11. NO!!!! Get the bird out....

actually, just stay put, till the bird leaves, you are better off out here.

[LeftyFingerPop]

13. But I brought the bird with me...he is hanging from my ear.

[tekisui]

14. It's all good. Oh man, Omen gone.

[Kali]

22. and another
