VERY CLOSE CALL!!!!!

The other day my daughter was cleaning her room. Her cockatiel Sooty stays in her room with her. They are the best of friends, she has had him for five years...saving her own money to buy him. (There is a picture of him on Preston's website). Anyway, she wasn't paying attention and opened her window. The day before we had a terrible wind storm that blew off her screen and I think she forgot. Well, sooty flew out of the window. My daughter looked for him for about an hour, hysterically crying she returned home. :'( I had just gotten home and was greeted with the news. :-/ I told her that I will look for him, but the odds of finding him now are very slim. I also told her to get a group of neighbor kids together and get everyone involved. As she approached her friends house ( who lives three blocks away ) There was Sooty sitting on the fence in front of the house. WOW!! :o What are the odds??? We had a better chance of winning the state lottery..... Although, I feel we did anyway! He is home and safe ;D A big lesson learned. And a little girl and little bird, reunited and happy!
