I just have to share... cos there are not many people who understand!
Today, I left JellyBean in the kitchen as I went upstairs to do some work.. he has the run of the kitchen and can fly up to me if he wants! Which he mostly does!!! Anyway after about 10 minutes I was wondering where the little Bean was as I usually call to him and his whistles or chirps back..
Went down to the kitchen and zero sign of him.. I called and called and nothing. At this point I started to panic.. check the windows, checked upstairs.. checked everywhere.
I then noticed that the top drawer in a set of drawers beside the sink was slightly open.. so I opened that carefully calling him all the time.. Nothing.. I took out all the drawers. Nothing. No sound. I then called my partner and was in floods of tears.. I looked at the back of the press and there was a opening about 3 inches - I was utterly scared.. he must of gotten down there.. I ran for tools and screwdrivers to try and get the panel of. After 10 minutes, I could lift it so that I could put my hand behind the panel. I was so so frightened that I would find a suffocated or stuck bird.. Still crying so much, I reached in - and nothing... I called him again.. nothing.
Finally, I put hand down so that it went under the base of the drawers - there was a small gap... and then all I could feel was his little foot stepping up on my fingers and a gentle "JellyBean"
Words cannot express my complete relief - I cuddled him so much - I was so happy he was fine... Such a dreadful experience.. but a happy ending!
