The Birds!!!

Ok so today I was sitting in the family room with my mother-in-law before I had to leave to pick up the kids from daycare. We were in the middle of a conversation and I began to hear what sounded like a flock of birds coming down the chimney!! I stopped mid sentence because I was just not sure what in the world I was hearing. We were quiet for a minute and then we both heard it again....the birds!! My father-in-law came in and we told him that there were birds in the chimney. He went over to the fireplace and almost opened the fireplace doors!! We both told him not to because neither one of us wanted to have a bird come flying into the family room. He double checked the flue to ensure it was closed yet the bird sound simply got louder! I thought for sure a bird was going to come flying out. Thankfully it did not, however, we are still hearing our feathered friends! I just hope that Johnny does not hear the birds. If he does I fear that he will want to open the doors to play with them. Needless to say I think we will need to have someone come out to look at the chimney before we start an aviary in the family room!!
