the #LittleBird has flown out! i left the windows wide open for about an hour & they moved closer to the window calling out. then a bit later they were gone! i am so happy they managed to fly out.

then i cycled to the shops & got lots of bird feeders, seed, mealworms, insect blocks, a bird bath & mesh so now i am going to make some space in window sils for them. i already got two stuck on the bathroom & kitchen window, a meter above their nest 😊🐦

.. context around the #LittleBird situation from yesterday:

just went to the eye clinic for a cataract operation, on the NHS btw.
they asked me to lie down & look straight into an extremely bright light whilst staying absolutely still. (i am very sensitive to light since cataract took hold, i basically live in the dark all day)

i couldn't do it. it was absolutely torturous.

now i have to wait months before i get an appointment in the hospital where they'll do it under general anaesthetic..

i am seriously considering just letting nature take its course, which off course is exactly what the bastard powers that be want.

all staff were extremely caring & wonderful. i bet they suffer seeing me like this. the nurse complimented me on my free gaza bracelet, & another one told me only ppl with money can go private & get seen within a week, everyone else faces 11-14 weeks of waiting. she agreed with me when i said big corporations are gutting & overtaking all public services like a bunch of parasitic psychopaths without a care in the world for anyone's suffering, or in many cases, early death.

weirdly, just before i left to go to that clinic i found a tiny bird with a wounded wing in my bathroom.
there's a nest just a meter under that bathroom window, so i bet it's one of the parents or a fledgling.
i carefully caught it and put it in a shoebox with some water & bread crumbs. i hope it'll stay in until i can get some mealworms from the shop tomorrow & recover.

i am grateful i can help that bird right now, cause i feel like murdering some billionaire bastard which is not going to help anyone.
