If anyone is still interested Stephen had another adventure today, I came down for breakfast, got his sardines ready to take out but no sign of him, anyway his mum was around sitting looking left, right, up and down but not a sign of him I did my clucking noises, but nothing, I got ready for work and before I went I tried the garden again but same thing no sign he wasn’t anywhere his mum was still around on the chimney, then on the flat roof, turning her head one way then the other I presumed Stephen had had his maiden flight and took off and she was waiting for him to turn up
I went to work when I came back I went to have another look and I could hear some flapping noise went to where I heard it looking down into the neighbours ‘full of rubbish’ garden I could see two big wings in a kind of skip with all sorts of rubbish in it and there was Stephen, obviously fell off the roof into the rubbish bin and was flapping his wings to try and get out I stood on a big pot and managed to reach over into the neighbours garden,( hoping nobody was watching) I grabbed a wing as gently as possible and got my arms around his body and pulled him back onto the roof and he’s been there ever since
He definitely should be flying by now and I’m thinking perhaps when he fell off into the rubbish he may have been trying to take off anyway he’s back on the flat roof now and mum is nowhere in sight She’s obviously happy he’s safe
Hes had his tea tonight and he’s been playing with the feeding pot throwing it around
I ll be glad when he takes off I wonder if he’s later because he’s not got a mum to push him out the nest !
