Kia ora koutou,
Sunday morning I was woken at 3.30am by a bird cheeping. It kept it up so sleep was impossible. Monday I texted three drains people. No reply. I rang KCDC and the woman was very nice and said to try Greypower in Levin. I rang Greypower in Levin and they said ‘Otaki?’ We don’t know anything about Otaki people.’
I rang SPCA. No answer and no opportunity to leave a message. I texted friends. They had no info.
Was I the only one ever to have a bird in the roof?
The bird has a lie–down early evening to 3.30am when it wakes up and get on the job again. With great vigour. I have gone past the idea of a kind and careful retrieval of the bird and its nest, I’m now at the stage when strangling it seems a good option.
This morning one of the drains people texted me, apologised for not replying earlier and said it wasn’t his area but if I was stuck he’d have a go. So I told him the bird’s routine and he said it sounded like torture and that someone would be round next week.
Till then darlings, its just me and the bird…and some cotton wool ear plugs at night. This makes the cheeps less piercing, more of a click click.
Onwards…
Renée
