… huh.

So I was outside watering the mums in front of the shop and I see this little dude flapping his wings against the window.

And I’m like, okay… that’s not where you’re supposed to be. So I went back in and apparently he’s been hanging out in the front half of the shop for the past two days- which is kind of cool from our perspective but when your adult life span is only four weeks it sucks big time.
