Bird in the house yo!

It's soo hot these 2 days!! I just went out of the house to run an errand just now, and I came home sweating. The moment I got into the car, my glasses fogged up due to the heat! Woahh... The weather makes me feel so sleepy, everytime I open my books my eyes feel like closing, my brain feels fuzzy... Ok, I admit, it's not all about the weather, but oh well! It does make me feel less like studying...

My house had an unexpected guest yesterday night!! Haha. We had just returned home from my grandma house, and I was opening the balcony door when I suddenly heard this fluttering sound. I, personally, is VERY scared of hearing fluttering sounds. It usually means there's either a flying cockroach, beetle or a moth. And if you look at my profile, I am afraid of most things that can fly. Anything, everything. I saw this black thing with wings fluttering, and my first thought was "oh shit is that a humongous cockroach?!?!!?!?!?!?" I ran off, then came back again to check out what the thing was. (See how courageous I am? wahaha!) The thing flew up and I could see clearly, it was a bird. A small little bird. It couldn't fly very high, so I assumed it was injured. I quickly told my parents that there's an injured bird in our balcony. They went like "huh bird??" cos it's like one in a million chance that a bird would fall in our balcony.

They went with me to see, and the poor bird kept fluttering around, like it couldn't fly high. We decided to give it fruits to eat, and some water. Me and my mum cut a peach, and placed it inside a container with some water. But when I went back out, the bird was gone already. We looked around the balcony, but there was no sight of it. We placed the container outside, as we were thinking that it might fly back again. Just then, I turned and saw the bird flying inside our living room. I gave out this shriek and told my mom "IT'S INSIDE THE HOUSE!!!" Haha! My parents were kind of thrilled, cos we seldom get such visitors! I wasn't too thrilled though, cos I do not like things that fly!! Haha, unless it's tame and behaves, not one that flies all over the place!!! It started to fly from one end of our house to the other end, perching itself on the curtain rod. Each time it flew, I would shriek and bend my body low. Haha, I did that continuosly for what felt like a million times, until I was sweating all over. HAHAHA. I couldn't understand why my parents could just watch it fly here and there like they a bird flying around our house everyday. I was so scared that it would just land on my head, or decide to peck at me. Hahaha, I'm just being paranoid I know. Anyway, my mum says it's a hummingbird(that explains all the fluttering i heard), and we are guessing that it's a baby one. It's quite tiny and small, and it's yellow in colour! Quite cute actually. I took many photos of it, but it was too small to show up nicely.

It kept flying to and fro for the whole night; was until we went to sleep did it perch itself on the living room curtain rod and stopped flying. It was sleeping i guess... We left a small nightlight for it, but when my dad looked for it in the morning it was gone already. Oh well, although it was just a short visit, was still quite exciting! :) It makes me feel a teeny weeny less scared of birds that come near to me now! haha. There's still a little mystery though, if it could fly so well to and fro around our house, why was it fluttering around in my balcony and wasn't able to fly out? And the door of our balcony was open wide throughout before we went to bed, so why didn't it fly out immediately at the first chence, but chose to stay in our house? Ahhh..I guess it's a mystery only the bird knows.. (my mum kept insisting that it likes our house though :))

Ok! shall zoom off to do my studying now...Bye people!! :)
