THE BIRDS
It's been over a year since our pet
Cockatiel "Sam" passed away. We
initially tried to sell some of the
equipment we used to make him at
home. But it seems there's little
demand for used bird stuff. And so,
for a time, it just sat around taking
up space.
Meanwhile, just outside our
house, our feeder for wild birds
became victim to a rather large
bear that had been wondering
through our neighborhood. Seems
the term "Bird Feed" has little
meaning to a hungry bruin! We
found pieces of the feeder smashed
along the street.
After the bear disappeared my
wife decided it was time to try to
feed the birds again. Since the
feeder had been destroyed she came
up with another idea.
She set up the old Bird Cage
on its stand in front of the house and
filled it with feed. I nixed the idea
based on my thought that no one
tries to get into prison. I suspected
the same would be true for our
flying friends. Why become a "jail
bird?"
But my wife, taking a page
from Alfred Hitchock, believed that..
..If you feed them, they will come!
And they did! They were practically
fighting each other to get into the cage!
So, it seems, my theory is "For
the Birds."
Hope the bear doesn't come back
and get in there....and that all your
NEWS is good.
