Catch the Cheerful Little Bird
There are two things to keep in mind when trying to catch the cheerful little bird.
- You need something to put him in.
In this instance, a bird cage should do the job. Where might we find one of those?
- Something you are carrying might scare him.
If you have the cage and the bird is still agitated when you approach, you might be carrying the black rod.
