Hard to Swallow

So I’m just sitting here WAITING for those birdies to do something BAAAAD…

Hey, out there, do you have those little sweet, FAST birdies who are nesting right now in rafters and so that when you go near their little home-under-construction they dive-bomb  you (never actually hitting, of course but still…) and are they not just the cutest little birdies on earth, mama says?  Maybe they are swallows, but that’s a tough life, having to dive bomb every person who passes by!  So darling, mama says.

If you like birdies, that is.

I’ve never seen the attraction, frankly.  Maybe I’m just lazy, but we have huge seagulls that soar quite beautifully in our skies, and we have little teensy birdies, sparrows, I think, who peck at our bird balls, collecting there as if it were their Birdie Bar, and we have the BIG robbers, black and white birdies who will take anything you leave around, and we have the tourtourelles who bill and coo on our terrace.  Mama likes them the best, with good reason, haha.

A lot of billing and cooing is needed these days, and they are so tame now that they would come in the house if the door were open.

WHICH I WILL NOT ALLOW!   Those bad birdies would eat my KIBBLE!

As it is, mama crushes 7-grain toasts on the patio for them!

In fact, I have to quickly sign off, because there are two out there NOW wanting my food and the door is way too  open for me!  And that guy is LANDING ON MY DRINKING DISH!

Birds hold no fascination with the dogs. Squirrels on the other hand seem like wind up toys. 😆

We have swallows here. They are very quick…and they dive bomb the mom and dad when they are outside. They’re cute birds, but really crazy!

teehee – since the pollution and traffic is way down here – there are birdies everywhere TOO! We have pigeons in the trees just in front of the apartment – and yesterday there was one on the flower box! We went to the bakery yesterday – and a pigeon flew out the front door! But those big scary goelands are everywhere now. They used to be just on the beach but with so much less pollution and traffic they have gotten BOLD!! Stay safe Loulou – I hear they kidnap kitties and small doggies!!
