Woodpecker in da house

Kind of off topic but interesting nonetheless (well nobody's obliged to read it).
So lunch time there comes a fluttering in the chimney, clearly there was an interloper. Removed the insulation plug and a few minutes later there's a wood-pecker flying around the living room.
Bashed into the window at mach 1 and we figured he was a goner.
Dog leapt for him, but stopped an inch away from out cold bird when i yelled at him. Baby got hysterical, mailman arrived, general mayhem.
Anyway wrapped him in a sheet, took him outside where he sat on the lawn looking like he'd just gone 10 rounds with Tyson.
Wife stayed out to watch for dog-cat who lives across the street- yes he's a cat who's more like a dog. Meanwhile friend or lover of woodpecker swooped overhead watching out for their mate.
Anyway 10 minutes later off he flew. There is no moral or real point to this story other than woodpeckers are pretty tough at bashing their heads into things.

The end
