Early Sunday afternoon, students were welcomed back to the TECH Center by a flying, feathery friend.

A small bird was sighted today in the lobby of the center and in Starbucks. According to a member of the maintenance staff, the bird has be stuck in the building for about a week; it has survived by scavenging for food in trashcans on various floors.

There is currently no plan to save the small bird, as it is unable to remain in one spot long enough to be captured and released outside. According to a Starbucks employee, the bird perches on high ledges in the lobby, then swoops down and crashes into windows, thinking he can get outside.
