It was a Monday afternoon and I was on some deliveries for my work. I was in Schenectady, NY, at a "Wendy's" restaurant parking lot.

It was a nice day so I had my window open while I scarfed down my burger and fries. I finished my fries first because if you eat the fries last they will be cold and a cold burger beats cold fries any day. But anyways... I was just about finished with my burger when a small bird landed on my side mirror. My window was wide open and it was a little bit scary(I have bad luck with birds). So me being a little scared, I tried to shoo it away with my arm and I said, "Shooo"!!! It flew away and not even a second later it was back perched on my mirror. "Little bugger", I said. I rolled up my window almost the whole way and watched the bird. It appeared to be a finch, it was small, brown, and it had specks of redness on its back. This bird was looking very intently at me, like a dog under the dinner table. So I looked down at what was left of my burger and I ate everything except a little piece of the bun. I picked up this piece of bun and as I raised it to the small crack at the top of the window, this bird flew up with my arm and ate the piece of bread right out of my hand. I left.

This really happened people.
