ARLINGTON -- Astros catcher Humberto Quintero had seen enough fowl play.

"It was taking too long," he said.

Quintero was on deck in the ninth inning of Sunday's game against the Rangers when a curious bird landed near home plate for the second time in a matter of minutes. Astros batter Chris Johnson tried to shoo it away with his bat and plate umpire Mike Reilly couldn't get it to budge, either.
