I don't any more but I used to.
The one that comes to mind was an elderly lady who got into some kind of finch-type bird (canaries maybe) instead of cats. She had obviously been letting them breed because there was flock of about 40 of them in the house, all flying together from one piece of furniture to the next.
I found it pretty alarming to begin with but after half an hour or so I could appreciate the beauty of it.
Plenty of bird shit in places though.
Unexpected wholesome twist. I was expecting floors rotted through with shit or dead ones in corners.
Did she have a procedure for dealing with people coming in and out of doors? Iโd be terrified one would make a run for it!
I don't remember... They might have been institutionalised and afraid of the outside world anyway though! We had that with some chickens once after they spent a long time in an enclosure. All the baby ones came out flapping their wings and running around but the grownup ones were scared to come out.
