I’ve had a lot of strange realizations since becoming pregnant. I’ve smelled things I’ve never smelled before, I’ve tasted ingredients in things that I didn’t know were there, and I hate half the foods and drinks that I usually love.
But this one…I’m totally confused.
I was leaving the house the other day, and on the way out, I looked in the large mirror in the basement, just like I do every day.
And I noticed this on the mirror:
No, not all the dust. It’s the basement – give me some slack.
Bird POOP?!?! How does Bird Poop get on a vertical mirror? What kind of aim must that bird have??
And more importantly,since I’m nearly positive that no bird has been in my house, and completely positive that this mirror hasn’t been taking any day trips OUT of the house, how did this happen??
Has it always been there? If not, how long HAS it been there? And how have I not noticed until now?
As I pondered these disturbing mysteries, I saw on the shelf right next to the mirror:
Okay. So unless the mirror and the shelves have been taking outdoor trips TOGETHER, a bird, at some point, found a way to enter my house, poo on my furniture, and leave again without me ever knowing it?!?!
Or have my housekeeping skills so diminished that there are bugs in my house big enough to produce bird poo?
To ensure this wasn’t all some sort of pregnancy neuroses, I made Chris go down and look at it and confirm that it did indeed exist, that he’d never seen it before, and that he had no knowledge of birds in our house.
But whatever did it, let me just clarify that my welcome mat does NOT mean come in my house, poo on my furniture, and then leave before I know you’re there, only to completely confuse me.
Please assure me….mysteriously appearing bird poo inside one’s house is a totally normal phenomenon….right?
I have had a bird come in the house without me knowing it before. That is until the cat found it then the whole house knew there was bird inside so it is plausible.
Maybe it's toothpaste and someone under the age of grown-up was walking and brushing around the house? Happens around here a LOT.
Sorry, can't say that's totally normal, but it is quite bizarre!
Oh yea, birds flying in the garage are normal. Or was this the basement?If you like amy's idea you could try tasting it.
Amy – Hm…definitely not toothpaste, because the only non-adult in the house uses pink toothpaste, and it definitely doesn't have a brown turd-like center.
Kitty – Nope, basement, not garage, which we carefully keep closed from the garage to keep Oreo in.
Oh please let the bird have left again…. please please please no narsty discoveries later…. please.
Ummm, I don't like that at all. It would freak me out!
Maybe your basement is a portal to another dimension where birds are the dominant species, and a scout was sent through the portal to find a mate for their bird prince. Or there is just some sneaky bird in your basement. It is probably one of those two though. For sure.
Interesting. I can't say as that is normal. :) Although we have had several birds get in the house over the years, usually through an open door, they have always been quickly noticed and shooed out. They've never stayed long enough to mysteriously poop and then leave again. Are you sure it has left? Maybe there is a nest of birds in your basement. :)
I wonder when the bird got in? Yeah, you might find something you don't want to find.
"Let me just clarify that my welcome mat does NOT mean come in my house, poo on my furniture, and then leave before I know you’re there." – This is the best sentence I expect to read this week.
Can't help you with your poo problem, but Schyler said "you have such a pretty blog to have such not pretty things (bird poo)on it"!
I think that's a compliment??

Weird! I'm afraid that one would freak me out.
