When I moved into my apartment 9 years ago, I had two parakeets. I was
sitting in my bedroom reading when suddenly this bird zoomed in and flew
back out. It was like being straifed by a tiny jet fighter. WTF?! I knew
my birds were in their cage. I went to look; sure enough, a sparrow had
somehow gotten in and was perched on the top of an ivy plant up by the
ceiling. It was as confused as I was. I opened the back door and waved and
it flew out
