I was going to say that the bird is trying to relay its sympathies to you for the ridiculously long wait the cic have put you through! But upon reflection (get it, sorry) it is probably this: http://www.uksafari.com/birds2.htm

OMG did someone mention RABIES!!!!!!! :eek::eek::eek:
lol Stef If there is any possibility that your local bat populations carry rabies, I would stay well away from any seemingly ill or disoriented creatures. |

Re: Unusual visitor
Sad news, I'm afraid. Poor Tobias didn't make it - he died a few days after arrival at the U of C :(
They think he was already sick and the cold was probably a bit too much for him Rip T.A.B |

We put him in a box in the garage and they came to collect him. :) We had one in our (reasonably small) conservatory last summer, it flew at top speed round and round without hitting anything. We opened the door and he just shot out. Fascinating to watch. Cats terrified of it. |
Re: Unusual visitor
Shame he didn't make it - always liked bats - they eat the bugs that bite me. Remember sitting by a pool while they swooped back and forth across the water just missing us ...
