As I was just waking up this morning, I heard my bed rail clanging. I didn't make anything of it and went back to sleep some more. I had no idea a bird was in my room.

After brushing my teeth, I returned to find a baby bird standing in the middle of my bed. I chased this guy around to catch it since I feared it would soil my bed and other things. It kept hiding and evaded me time and again.

This guy must have been frightened by the thunderstorm last night and sought shelter. It must have entered my apartment while I had the door open earlier in the evening since it was warm.

Through the night, it must have made its way from the entrance to my bedroom. In the morning, I found bird poop on my slipper near the entrance after opening the doors to give it a way out later on.

I chased it for almost an hour since I discovered it, the smart guy. It hid and flew all around my bedroom, living room and then ended up perched on this light above the mirror in my bathroom. The poor guy must have been scared, hungry and tired. I finally caught it while it was perched on the bathroom light and brought it outside right away. It was a lot of trouble trying to catch him.

With the bird in my hand, I went downstairs to ask Paul, my landlady's brother, to take my photo with it. He said that it's just a baby and it must have flown the nest two weeks too early. He added that the parents will likely be looking for it, find it through its chirping and continue feeding it until it's big enough to leave its parents' care.

I held the bird gently after catching it and after taking a few photos, I slowly opened my hand and it flew off into our wild backyard.
