Default oriole bird
Bird hit the window tonight so the wife wheeled er' out the door to help the little thing.
Held it for awhile and set it down and flew off. Knocked itself loopy! Cool bird up close.

Birds will do that sometimes.

A tip-o-the-hat to Mrs Zippy for her helping hands.

Another great save!!! I saw an episode of "Everybody Loves Raymond" in which Robert's future mother-in-law did a mercy kill of a bird that did just that during their Thanksgiving episode......thank goodness that she wasn't there when that happened to the oriole.

I personally believe that we were given the gift of free will to be the caretakers of the world, to help it out and each other out, and your wife did just that.....KUDOS to your wife! Now go treat that wonderful lady to a night on the town.

Great job.

I had a robin fly into my widow last year. Not a good ending.

NIK,

Zippy had the same thing happen a few years ago with a Rose Breasted Gross beak. Knocked himself silly running into the deck door. Wish I could find the pic of him. Held him for a while and set him in the yellow cherry tree then he flew off after a couple minutes. It is way cool holding such a pretty bird.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
