I feel horrible!!


My 5 y/o plays soccer, so I was trying to get everything together so we could try and get there on time. I walked out the front door and yelled for the kids to bring their toys in so we could go. I locked the door and as I turned I felt something hit my ankle. It was kinda like I almost tripped. I figured it was just another toy. NOPE! A swallow size bird had run into my foot/ankle. I was hoping it had just stunned itself, but apparently it knocked itself hard enough to fly a bit more and die.

I just stood there thinking "OMG! I killed an innocent bird!" Then the kids started crying and panicking. I feel so bad.

I'm guessing there was something wrong with the bird before it hit your ankle, or it wouldn't have hit your ankle.

Something had to be wrong with that bird to be flying like that. It's very possible that it was lucky to be put out of its misery so quickly.

I also would have to agree.
Also, as much as it is scary for the kids, it is a better way to learn about death, than with a human death. It is a lesson that has to be learned, because it is a FACT OF LIFE.
I hope you gave him a proper burial, and that you made it to the soccer game on time.

Question The bird hit your 'foot'?....on the way to a 'soccer' game?...


If crowinthewind reads this he might read more into this...interesting.

I agree with the assumption there was something wrong with the bird prior to your collision.

Interesting coincidence however.
