Omen on my shoulder
Today’s Hambox Advent Calendar Window: December 18, 2008 — Avian Omen! Danny Plotnick recounts the fateful day that a New Year’s miracle flew into his family’s life, and out just as fast. Ntn to mention an appearance by the ever-trembling Hanukah Guinea Pig! Flap on over to the Calendar!
Just purely, simply loved that story. 🙂
The bird was for sure a good omen. I love that story & I love Sunshine!
gotta love a happy bird story, what, with all those scary ones out there. thanks for sharing danny!
are there unhappy bird stories out there?
Hm, let’s see.. unhappy bird stories? What about seeing three dead birds, totally separate sightings, on my 27th birthday? Bad omens all around, and it born out: that was one sucky year. Or Crackers, the canary I killed by accident? Or that goddam bird of John M’s: Cecil? Everyone *loved* that bird but that bird despised me and would go for my eyes when no one was looking. Or the time at the beach house when I witnessed a sparrow get beheaded and plucked and eaten by a *raven*? OMG do I have some unhappy bird stories.
But you know, even with all that, I like them.
Glad I asked!
