Tiny bird takes Manitoba city hall by storm
In a shocking turn of events, an American Kestrel has arrived uninvited at the doors of city hall in Manitoba. The small bird has reportedly taken residence in the stairwell, blocking the paths of unsuspecting visitors.
City officials have been left baffled by the bird’s sudden appearance. “We’ve had squirrels and raccoons causing trouble before, but this is a first for us,” said Mayor John Smith. “We’re not quite sure what to do about it.”
The kestrel, known for its aggressive behavior and sharp talons, has caused chaos among those trying to enter the building. “I almost got attacked by that bird,” exclaimed local resident Karen Green. “I just wanted to go pay my taxes and I was met with a barrage of feathers!”
Attempts to remove the bird have proven difficult, as it seems to have taken a liking to its new surroundings. “It’s like this bird thinks it owns the place,” said city janitor Dave Thompson. “It just sits there staring at me while I try to clean around it.”
The kestrel has also been causing havoc for the city’s maintenance team, who have reported finding bird droppings throughout the stairwell. “We’ve had to bring in extra staff just to deal with this mess,” sighed city engineer Tom Wilson.
Despite the headache it has been causing, some residents have taken a liking to the bird’s presence. “It’s nice to see some wildlife in the city,” noted local bird-watcher Steve Jones. “I just wish it would pick a better spot to perch.”
In light of this unusual situation, city officials are urging residents to be cautious when entering city hall. “We don’t want anyone to get hurt,” warned Mayor Smith. “If you see the bird, please give it plenty of space.”
It is currently unknown how long the kestrel plans on staying at city hall, or what its intentions are. However, city officials have assured residents that they are doing everything in their power to resolve the situation.
As of now, the American Kestrel remains a fixture at Manitoba city hall, making life interesting for everyone who passes through its doors. Whether it’s a nuisance or a welcome addition, one thing is for certain – this bird has certainly made its mark on the city’s history.
