Default Fab 4 at it Again

A bird got in the garage yesterday morning and 3 of the Fabulous 4
were at their cat best, running around, jumping, chattering, etc.
Except for the laid back boy, Rambo. He got up onto the old
refrigerator, sat down, and just didn't move anything but his eyes.
After 10-15 minutes the activity caused the bird to land on a shelf
over the fridge. Rambo secures and brings to me. Bird not harmed and I
release outside and he flies away. Typical Rambo reaction, don't get
flustered about anything. I need to be more like him.

He's a smart one. Let everyone else do the work of tiring the prey out,
and then, when they're all exhausted, move in for the kill. (Which I'm
glad was not a *literal* kill.)

But I feel sorry for the bird. Imagine being trapped in an enclosed
space with 4 lions. I'm surprised he/she didn't die of fright. Good job
setting it free - that bird will have stories to tell to the kids and
grandkids!

Rambo is one smart cookie! It's really great that he brought the bird to
you so you could release it.
