I use to walk around outside with our lovebirds, Nigel and Vince, on my shoulders...but I don't plan on doing that anymore!

Nigel & Vince's wings are clipped so when we're home we let them hang out by a screened open window. Yesterday, Darrell and I were in the next room watching TV when we heard a loud noise and Nigel and Vince flutter to the floor with their shrill, alert chirp sounding! Darrell and I hurried in and I picked the birds up, with them still chirping, and placed them on my shoulder. We couldn't really find anything that had fallen, so we didn't know what the source of the excitement was. Minutes later, Darrell heard the noise again and looked over to see flapping wings at the screen on the window, that's when he saw the hawk (broad winged?) which was now on the ground by the window....it flew off shortly after that. Upon farther inspection, we saw the claw holes and small tear in the window screen. Guess that would have scared the daylights out of two little birds.
