I'm scared for the animals really seriously.  A bird came into our house yesterday and _let me reach for it and pick it up, while it was all stressed out_.  I've never heard of a bird letting somebody do that.  I don't know about birds to not injure them when grabbing them.

When my stuff originally started, the whole woods would go quiet like they do when a predator is hunting.  Except, they would just stay that way for a long time.
