Cearbhael, I sympathise, I really do!
I once had a bird caught in my hair - the bird was stuck in between the
panes of the sash windows, and when Dad freed it, it flew into the room. I
shook my head, and my *very* long hair swirled about, and the dratted bird
got caught. Like your experience, the bird had to be cut out of my hair,
which of course had to be *evened up* and cut quite short, so I went off
birds for quite a while after that - only cured when I was given a
budgerigar in a cage about five years later!
Carol, in a gloomy Suffolk UK - not the expected July weather at all!
