Yesterday we were headed out the door, on the way to the beach, when we had an unexpected visitor:

This little bird flew in when I opened the garage door. Not sure if it had spent the night in our garage, but it scared the beejeezus out of us when it dove into the house. It flew straight into a window, bounced off, and then hid in a fake tree we have in the foyer. After much excited arm waving and screaming from the small men, the bird ended up under the sofa. Poor thing was so scared that I was able to pick it up with no trouble.
Of course everyone wanted to hold it....Little Man said "his feet tickle", and Monkey Boy said "he's super sooooft". Then they had to pose for a photo...

After the photo op, they were ready to let the it go...

At first it wouldn't leave Monkey Boy's hands, but we gently placed the bird on the lawn and after a few seconds it flew away....right into the tree next to our garage! LOL Hopefully it won't end up back in the garage/house!
