I'm so fucking mad at myself. A budgie landed on my windowsill and was trying to get to my budgies, meanwhile my budgies were outside their cage so I couldn't just open the window. So instead I scurried around the house like a jackass for a solid 5 minutes trying to find something to catch the bird with while it was chirping outside. By the time I finally remembered I had mosquito netting stored in the pantry and got it, the budgie was no longer there.
It's the third time this happens, the previous two were another budgie that smacked against my window and a finch I found on the sidewalk. I tried to catch the birds with my bare hands both times and failed miserably, so this time I tried to think things through and ended up with too much thinking and too little acting.
I rarely get so worked up over something to the point where I'll powerlevel about it on the internet but fuck, failing to catch a bird for the third time really made me livid. I'm keeping the mosquito netting easy to reach from now on, this can't happen a 4th time.
