Eewwww!!

wassup peoplez... yeah remember when i told you that I saw something like really really disgusting the other day? Okay, so let me fill you on in it. You see, I reach home from college at bout say... 6.30? Oh by the way, this happened last thursday. So anyways... there's this 'sticky thing' my mum bought to trap lizards onto it. It's kinda what you call a 'lizard killer'. You jz open it up, lay some lizard food right in the middle and wait for the lizards to crawl upon the thing and get stuck there. However, my grandma not knowing how it functions jz placed it randomly without placing the lizard food. Surprisingly though, the lizards still end up taking a stroll on the thing and get caught in it. so, moving on... my grandma caught quite a few already. Thus, she decided to put one outside the house.. thinking maybe she could catch some out there too. Indeed, she did manage to catch one small lil' one. So yeah, it was still left out there for a few weeks. I tend to look at it every time i get back home. Instead of lizards and cockroaches.. it kinda caught loads of flies instead.
So, same thursday afternoon. I reached home bout 5.30 that day ( earlier cz friend fetched me home ). i did my usual routine. As i bent over to look at the contraption, i was taken aback by this huge brown ball on it. At first I thought it was a RAT!! but the fur was quite long (that' what i thought). Then I had a closer look... that's when i realised.....
it was a bloody BIRD!!! you know those lil' brown birds that fly around ur houses everyday and chirp nonstop? yeah its one of them. It was faced flat down on its left side, both face and body. I quickly called my sis and grandma. apparently it wasn't there when my sis got back from school (which was bout 2)... so I guess it was probably there bout 3 hours tops. I wanted to throw the trap away along with the bird when my grandma asked me to check if it was still alive( luckily she asked me)... As I approached the creature, the HEART was STILL BEATING!! OMG!
I nearly fainted. (over dramatic) First thought came to my mind was to take it off. But the FACE!! it's STUCK!! If i take it off, will half the face come off too!?! *Dilemma*
I was pushing the task to my sis to do it as she did the exact same thing to me. In the end my grandma got a pair of plastic bags and decided to do it herself.
At first it was still bearable to watch. She got hold of the body and slowly pulled it off the sticky thing. (when i say sticky.. i mean it's really really sticky!!!) I could see the feathers coming off slowly. I could see fear in the poor lil' thing's eyes. I mean... imagine a big rather *old* ( sorry popo) creature pulling literally ur wing apart whilst knowing there isn't a single thing you can do. gosh!
Anyway moving on... the body part was still watchable but when it came to the face... to watch her pull the bird's face slowly.... omg omg omg!! it was disgusting. I turned away.. almost barfed, couldn't bear to watch. when she pulled it off, I could barely see the left face... the fur was off. But that wasn't what I was afraid of.. (DID THE EYEBALL COME OFF?!?!) OMG OMG!!
I wanted to see if the eye was still there, but I couldn't get the right angle. Anyways, my grandma then pulled the remaining parts slowly (still disgusting) and miraculously the bird flapped its wings and flew off. I saw it's left wing literally featherless and it was bleeding slightly. OUCH! It flew onto a nearby branch and started licking itself. I went to have a closer look again to see if the left eye was still there but it flew away before I could get a closer view.
Sigh... I felt really bad and sorry for the fellow. O'well at least it survived...
here's a pic of how it looked like after the incident (sorry it didn't occur to me to take the pic while the bird was still on the thing.. too gruesome) xS
