Is the bird real or not?!
When the story begins, Ritchie comes screaming into the house. He tells his mother that a big, evil woodpecker attacked him and pecked him on the head. The story is a bit hard to believe but Rob immediately assumes the bird is a metaphor for something deeper. But after he claims to Ritchie that he killed the bird, the bird once again attacks...and Millie confirms that there really IS a bird attacking Ritchie and she saw it. So, Rob calls various agencies, such as Animal Control, trying to get help...but most think he's either a nut OR they don't really seem to care. What are the Petries to do?
This is a cute and original episode...not great by any stretch but very good and worth seeing.
