Sparrows in the Run

There were birds in the chicken run, and I'm not talking about my chickens! I went out and some how two white-throated sparrows and one house sparrow were stuck inside the chicken wire of the run. Beats me how they got in if they couldn't figure out how in the world to get back out. I could hear the poor things hitting the chicken wire from inside the coop so i went to investigate. (The chickens were pretty amused at this point) I think letting the chickens into the run scared the crap out of the little birds though. Two of them managed to escape by dive bombing into the chicken wire with wings closed and feet stretched out then plummeting about two feet before opening their wings and flying on. The other one kept trying to do that but would chicken out at the last minute and bring his feet forward and land panting onto the chicken wire. Meanwhile the girls are trying to catch said bird as it flutters around because I am sure it would have made a tasty treat for them. So I went into the run. Rye and Cookie immediately ran out of the run to go frolic in the new snow. I immediately stepped into a puddle hidden by a thin layer of ice and got muddy, poopy, icy water all over my shoes. I shewed the bird toward the open door till it finally realized it was free and flew off. Beats me why on earth 3 birds went into the run on the same day... Needless to say- I was very late for work.
