A few days ago I went to the cleaners. It was a very warm day and the door to the shop was propped open. When I entered, I noticed to my right two birds fluttering on the inside of the windows, sitting on the ledge. One bird friend was outside the window. None of them seemed to know what to do about their dilemma. The two inside birds flew into the windows a couple of times and then seemed dazed and confused.
The owner went over to try to shoo them to the door, but of course, they only flew to the opposite glass window and accompanying ledge. They clearly had no concept of door. I decided to see if I could help. The birds were quite small, though not necessarily young. I reached out with my two hands and formed a kind of cage around one of the birds, not squeezing or grasping, just providing a transport. It fluttered, and when I got to the door, I opened my hands the the bird flew swiftly away. I then went back and captured the second bird in the same way, and off it flew.
I felt very good about being able to help those two small birds. Hopefully, if I am ever stuck and disoriented, hopefully some kind creature will come along and help me out.
