Today, a bird got into the walls of my house through a hole. I located where it was by following the chirping and scratching sounds, and drilled a hole to get it out. I pulled out the drill, only to find the drill bit bloody. Suddenly, no more chirps. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was woken up by a bird screaming its guts out. My cat had somehow managed to catch a bird and bring it inside. My 9 a.m. morning began with trying to catch a bird in my own home. FML
Today, the bird that has been stuck in my roof for two days, keeping me awake at night, finally flew out of the roof and into the house. As I was opening the door to send it outside, it flew straight back up into the roof. FML
Today, there’s been birds nesting in my wall since mid winter. They’ve recently started scratching at the wall as if they wanted to get through. This morning, they made their entrance. FML
Today, after a full year of work getting my house decorated, it was finally finished. I stepped back from the last painted wall to admire it and my neighbour on the other side of the wall, who was doing some decorating of his own, drilled too far and punched his drill bit right through the wall. FML
Today, I was caring for a bird that had flown into my window. I thought the poor thing wouldn't make it, when it shit in my hand, flew into my neck, then around my living room for ages before I could manage to get it out of the window. FML
Today, I spent twenty minutes trying to shoo a bird out of my apartment. After finally getting it outside, I closed the window, turned around, and realized I'd locked myself out instead. The bird flew away. I didn't. FML
Today, I came home to find that my sweet kitten had gotten out and dragged a bird inside, where he ripped it to shreds. I found the bird's head in my underwear drawer. FML
Today, a hummingbird somehow got into my house. I spent two and a half hours trying to get it out after finally using a blanket to catch it. I run outside to release it from my hands, and it flew back into my house. FML
Today, a wild squirrel managed to get into my house. I can't see him… but I can hear him in the walls. FML
Today, I was taking a poop when I heard a window in my house break. Then, I heard things dropping upstairs. I decided to stay in the bathroom, which has a lock, and called the cops. Turns out it was just a bird that was trying to get at my fish in the fish tank that I have in my room. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

It probably would've died soon if it was stuck in your walls anyway.

I thought it was living in there, as opposed to being stuck...

If it did, it wouldn't have died a painful, bloody death from a drill. Poor bird. :(
Tiffanywastaken 16
oh no.. poor OP. it happens. don't beat yourself up too badly. at least you tried to help it.
cakefete2 31
No, dear, it doesn't happen. That was a one in a million situation.
littlem91 29
This exact situation may be unusual but rescue attempts going wrong isn't. Sucks OP, you did your best.
Sirmrcrowley 12
And this dude is giving you credit!! At least the hole is filled lol

No read it again. OP Specifically said they drilled at the spot where they heard the chirping noises coming from, right over the bird. They're a idiot deserving of hate for being so stupid in my opinion.
Paintonmyarms214 21
That's a horrible thing to have on your conscience, I'm sorry OP. Think about at least that it didn't starve to death in the wall, like it may have had you done nothing!

I voted YDI... I don't feel like OP was careful enough. I think it was avoidable.

All mistakes are avoidable in some way.

One time a baby bird landed on my shoulder while I was shoveling snow. I didn't notice, and slammed it in the face with the shovel. I feel your pain, OP.

You can still say you tried to help it get out. But still RIP Bird.
