Escapee

One of the guineas escaped from my carefully constructed bird shield.  It flapped and scramble-ran up the plastic, therefore slipping under the edge of the mesh and out into the clear air.

I actually saw it in progress, yet was unable to stop it from happening.

It had just enough foot friction, I suppose

I’m up here.

Now what?

Looked neat from inside.  I left her up there to figure it out.

Later… how’s that guinea doing?

Well, it’s on the wrong side of the mesh, and now suspended, like it’s in a mesh bag.

We’re helping!

Its friends (whites only), were trying to help by pecking.  Not helping.

I can get them down from here pretty easily though, by bounce, bounce, bouncing them on the mesh, until they slip under the overlap mesh- wish I could say I designed it like that – and flop unceremoniously into the yard they’re supposed to not be able to escape from.
