Mysterious, very mysterious

He came up to her, holding his boot in front of her face.

“Mom, there’s feathers and all kinds of stuff  in my boot.”

She grabbed the boot and looked closely, a little too  closely. She knew that smell, the smell of rotting bird flesh.

Without hesistation she flung the boot and it’s contents onto the lawn. The feathery clump of dead bird fell out.

She heard a peircing scream puncuate the air and realized it was coming from her own mouth.

This scared the babies more than the fallen crow. Her youngest threw his arms around her neck and kissed her. “Mama, mama?” He asked. Wanting to know she hadn’t truly lost it.

How did that bird meet it’s demise? And why was it in her eldest son’s boot?

Two theories, feel free to provide your own: a passing cat dropped it’s prize in a convenient hiding place?

Or did the sad little creature fly at top speeds into the window, and upon impact drop into the child’s boot?

    Too sick to nest in a tree?

    I’ll bet it loved it’s little boot home and died happy.

    Yeah.

    Sorry you got the heebie-jeebies!

    Blech! I would have screamed too… my guess for the poor little critter? I’m guessing he was rather a practical joker in this life and just had to get one more laugh in… He’s in heaven right now laughing his birdy head off ;) Sorry you were the victim

    WOW! That is one crazy story! I found it both horrifying and comical at the same time. I’m thinking that a cat might have stashed its prize in your son’s boot! That is quite mysterious indeed!

    PS. I would have screamed too ;) ! I’m just not good at the whole “cool, calm, and collected” thing in situations like these!

    PPS. Mind if I link you to my blog? I keep going back to Mama Doggy Love’s blog to click on your link there!

    I’m back! My husband said that maybe the bird went in there and got stuck. Birds have been known to go into some pretty strange places…for example, chimneys and such.
