This morning I was exercising on the patio and a bird flew in and sat on the window sill [View all]

He/she ignored me, started singing, pooped and flew off. None of the feral cats were on the patio at that time.
I think it was a Jamaican pewee. I told a good friend about it and he says it’s a sign of good luck.
