Especially when you have an 18' ceiling in your living room and your house looks like Santa exploded inside.
Last night, I spent the better part of 20 minutes forcefully ejecting two purple finches from the house (without destroying any of my wife's Christmas decorations).
She keeps a wreath on the front door year 'round but the birds seem to have a special place in their hearts for her evergreen Christmas wreath. I guess the fact that we hardly ever use that door at night may have some bearing on the bird sightings but you can bet that when I have to open it nightly to turn on the Christmas lights I get intimately familiar with them again.
It never fails that I will get a pair inside the house at least one time during the season, until I remember to bang on that door before I open it. The last time it was a couple of little wrens.... talk about hard to catch in a fishing net.
I have figured out that the first thing that you should do is head through the house and close every door possible. The first pair that got in, I thought was a single until my daughter started screaming that there was a monster in her room after we put her to bed.
Hopefully, tomorrow night, I will remember to bang on that door before I open it or else be faced with a trip to the store for an Airsoft shotgun....
