Wanted to catch a real bird leaving a birdhouse (we have several around here), but time & weather didn't permit it. So...thought I'd have some fun for the heck of it. :-)

Greetings from the Critique Club!
LOL! Seriously, you made me laugh with the title! As you well know, though, having a great title doesn't always guarantee you a great score, especially if it strikes some voters that you've used the title to ensure you've met the challenge. As you also know, using inanimate objects doesn't always fare well either. Composition is nicely centered, which makes it a bit static (in addition to being inanimate), but you definitely hit the humor note with this one in my opinion! |

| I'm not buying the story, but I like the balance of colors. |
