Dutch Bantam

My Dutch Bantam's Tiny Enough to Hide: and Too Quick to Catch

You'd think a bird the size of a coffee mug would be easy to keep an eye on. Nope. This Dutch Bantam is so tiny it can vanish into thin air, and so fast you'll be left questioning your own reflexes. I've been there, arms flailing, muttering "where did you go?" while a feathered speck giggles from under the porch. It's the kind of fowl play that makes you appreciate the chaos. If you've ever felt outsmarted by a creature that weighs less than your phone, you're in good company.
