I got to hold one!
It somehow got in up on the third floor and was flying around trying to find a window.
the_geoffrey tried to herd it toward an opened window, but that wasn't working too well, so I went after it with a t-shirt and tried to catch it.
the_geoffrey then provided me with a pair of leather fencing gloves, and that worked much better. moments later, I had a birdie!
...a very angry little birdie. But, covered his head and he settled enough. Held him out the window, opened my hands, and watched him fly away.
Yay, birdie! Yay, free and healthy birdie!
