A mild case of phobia and other stories

"You wanted to see me up close?", says the bird. "Here I am, then."


This morning, coming back home from an errand, I realised that if there was a bird on the burglarproof bar in the kitchen, it meant it was IN the kitchen, since there is a mosquito net on the far side of the bars. A quick investigation (without venturing too close, I am sort of afraid of birds) revealed this red bird I was trying to identify recently. I quickly grabbed my camera and voilĂ !


My previous hypothesis of a bar breasted firefinch may have been wrong: I was unable to verify the characteristic white dots on its breast.
