No need to peep!

Annette Dutenhoffer

Peep! My daughter’s bedroom was in the basement. Peep! Peep! She came upstairs to tell me about the noise. Peep! Peep! Peep! She was trying to get her homework done. She wanted the noise to stop!

We went downstairs together and saw a baby bird standing just outside the window. He was peep-peep-peeping at the top of his lungs! My daughter and I looked at each other. What was all the peeping about?

We called the city’s animal department. A nice lady came to our house with a small net on a long handle. She gently scooped the little bird right up and shooed him off into a nearby bush.
