A Bird In Hand

As the proverb said 'A bird in hand worth two in the bush'.

A bird in hand

I did get a bird in hand during the Chinese New Year holiday which I spent sleeping for 4 days on and off - lovely.

Nownim, the one using Nowmok as pillow

My beloved cat, Nownim, like to bring back gift now and then. Gift such as lizards, bugs and frogs. She decided to bring a gift of bird on the first day of the Chinese New Year. I took the bird from her. She was not really happy with me because she was not done playing.

The bird was bleeding at it back from Nownim bite and in shock (based on Dr. Fauziah diagnosis). I cleaned up the blood, gave the bird a drink and hold the bird in my hand for awhile. When I tried to release the bird, it did not seem to have the strength to fly. So I kept the bird in a box for half an hour.

After half an hour, I took the bird out from the box and it seems to be stronger. I took it to the back of the house and when I opened my hand, it flew out immediately and left me with two.

True enough as the proverb said that 'A bird in hand worth two in the bush' because the two left by the bird are:


Bird Shit and Bird Blood.

I hope the bird is ok (because Dr. Fauziah think that the bird lost a lot of blood for such a small thing) and ..... please please no SARS :(
Update [Jan 30, 2009]: When I said SARS, I meant Bird Flu. Pig and Bird look the same to me - one haram and one halal ;)
