Yesterday evening I started hearing this strange sound while I was working. I went outside and looked around, but I couldn’t hear it anymore. I went back inside. Then I started hearing it again. I followed the sound towards the laundry room, and there it was. A gold finch was pecking at the window. I walked towards it. It flew away a bit, then came back. After a few minutes, I ignored it. Shortly thereafter I decided to take a walk to get a bit of exercise before the sun went down. It was still there. I was hoping that it would not disturb my sleep. When I got back from my walk it was gone.
This morning I started hearing the noise again, and I decided to take a video. As I was doing so, the song Little Birdie by Vince Guaraldi started going through my head, so I felt inspired to put the two together. Unlike in the song, this bird is not flying upside down, but I really wonder what it sees in the laundry room that it is after. I decided to close the shades in the hopes that it would start searching for food that it can actually eat instead of banging its beak against a window without any hope of reward.
