Disgusted
I'm completely disgusted with the birds today. We went to Tom's folk's house yesterday for his sister's birthday celebration. Dad had his new birdfeeder out there and it was absolutely covered with birds . .even on the ground underneath, there were about 15 mourning doves grazing away.
That really inspired me to get cracking on my bird feeding plans. Tom and I
grabbed one of our wedding Lowes gift certificates and headed out. We got two
birdfeeders and a nice pole (our backyard trees are tiny) to put them on. We
also purchased a GIANT bag of gourmet wild bird feed to load them with.
I guess I expected every bird in the neighborhood to immediately come over to
my yard, but the birds had other ideas. They continue to chirp from the
neighboring areas and taunt me while I'm out on my walks, but they don't come
near my feeders.
