Making a Nest
Derek had a fairly unusual experience. You see, a bird landed on his head in his rather thick, wavy black hair. Rather than wave it away, he simply ignored the little brown sparrow. Ithunkered down into his rather thick, wavy black hair and peeked out from time to time. Arriving home, Derek's wife Debbie noticed the bird immediately."Get that thing out of your hair!"Derek walked passed her and into the living room to watch TV. From time to time the birdflew away, out the open window, then back again with a blade of grass or piece of straw."Derek, it's making a nest! Get rid of that horrid thing!"Derek only glanced at Debbie vacantly, then looked back to the TV. Debbie shut the window once when the bird flew out the window, but when it flew back and looked forelornly through the glass, Derek went outside and sat on the porch. The bird continued it's project.By bedtime, the nest was complete and the bird was settling down for the night."You
will not 
sleep in the same bed...or even the same room with me if you have that dirty animal in your hair!"Derek bedded down on the couch that night. At work the next day, Derek's co-workers joked and laughed until the boss noted. His facevoid of expression as his boss demanded an explanation, he was sent home from work thatday. The boss said he didn't need to come back any more if he was going to have the animalin his hair.That evening a family friend came by to chat with Derek about the bird, but Derek said only,"It's not a problem," and kept silent for the rest of the visit. His mother came the next day and begged him to get rid of the bird, but he simply ignored her. The local vet came by thenext day, offering to help him remove the bird with its nest and take care of the bird
