Bird Rescue!

Went downstairs to chat with Oi (the receptionist) - needed some help with locating the restaurant where the tomorrow's event is held. All of a sudden we realized there was a bird inside - you know, one of the small/grey ones that normally steal food from em' slow pigeons. The poor thing was trying to escape... crashing into the glass walls, falling down to the floor... I tried and tried to catch it, but in vain. Finally, an "escape" flight across the whole entrance hall followed by a loud thump - birdie knocked out on the floor. Picked it up, held it in my hand, tried to see if it's a fighter or a goner. Opened beak, cramped little legs, one eye filling up with blood. Didn't look good at all. Started contemplating who would be able to put the birdie out of its misery. I can't do that. Neither could Oi. Another 5 minutes passed with the bird in my palm - and then, all of a sudden - off he flew :) Maybe he will be a bird with only one good eye. Maybe not :)
