Karma's Futher Animal Adventures

As karma would have it one of my co-workers was an animal lover usually rescuing all sort of furry woodland creatures. Seems as though during one of these rescues a couple of the animals came to live at the office for a while. 2 Birds and a Guinea pig we dubbed Ralphie we loved giving Ralphie veggies and such from our lunch bags he would squeak a happy squeak when you approached his cage. The 2 birds on the other hand , were a different matter as much as I tried to like them I just couldn't they pooped all over the place, and also when I stuck my hand in the cage they tried to peck at it.
I guess I can't really blame them since before they came to "visit" the office they were once mascots of a first grade classroom so they may have had a little PTKD, Post Traumatic Kid Disorder.
As karma would have it , or should I say since no one else would do it.  I was left to clean out the cages call me crazy but every one furry or otherwise should have a clean and tidy "home" to live in.

On this particular day I had just got finished cleaning Ralphie's home when I moved on to cleaning the birds home. As I carefully slide open the door and begin to lay down fresh newspaper my boss lady came by and said "Will they fly out if you open the door?" As if the birds thought what she was saying was a good idea one of them decided to do just that. No sooner had boss lady spoke the words when with a quick flapping of wings Mr. Bird made his escape he took off like a jet plane zooming down the hall toward the front door and then Bam! he smacked right into the door , "Oh shit!"
 we shouted  in unison "Mr. bird just killed him self." Hearing the commotion our co-workers came out of their offices to see what was going on.
 We sprinted to the front door to see Mr. bird stunned and staggering around on the floor but he was not about to give up that easy he took off again swooping down around our heads and up and down the hallway and then into the break room area.
He then headed to the back door not to make the same mistake twice he checked the backdoor carefully before trying to leave, but was disheartened to find that this was not a good escape route. So he turned quickly and headed back to the front door. In hot pursuit we jogged after him, he tried various offices looking for a way out.
We were really getting a workout today that is for sure, Much like Fred in Scooby-Doo I came up with a great plan for trying to catch Mr. Bird. I said " Okay guys here is what we do lets split up and try to shoo him into a corner and may be one of us can grab him." Next time Mr. Bird tried to make another trip down the hall we begin to flap our arms steering him toward the break room area since this was the only closed in space in the building.  We got him cornered in the break room but I failed to think of how or what we were going to actually grab him with. We all look at each other , thinking in unison how are we going to grab this thing.
 We stood there thinking when boss lady whipped off her sweater and like a Crocodile hunter she begin to stalk her prey we all got very quiet waiting with baited breathe to see if Mr. Birds days on the lamb were going to come to an end.
Boss Lady held her sweater out in fount of her on the floor and stealth like tossed it over Mr. Birds head he never knew what happened I sprinted around the corner to hold the door open while she quickly tossed him the cage. Mr. Bird sat in the bottom of the cage panting , holding a wing to his little birdy chest, after all that was the most exercise he had gotten in a long time. I said " I hope he don't have a little birdy heart attack or we are going to have to do CPR . "Look , guys I say if Mr. Bird kills over lets just tell animal lover co-worker that we just found him like that." Everyone shook their heads in agreement. I stood there watching Mr. bird for a minute wondering If I really would have to do Bird CPR when he flapped his wings and sat himself back on his perch next to his friend Ms. Bird he gave her a look as if to say " Honey, let me tell you about my day."
