Stalked
There is a bird stalking me.
OK, I realize that sounds more than a little paranoid. But I swear, this bird is one determined fowl.
It started 2 summers ago. I heard peck-peck-pecking in my laundry room. When I opened the door, I saw a bird hanging on to the top of the window frame with one foot, pecking at the window pane with his little beak. At the time I thought it was kind of cute. Awww...look, the widdle birdie wants to say hello. Hello, birdie.
This went on all summer. Only the widdle birdie was now pecking at several different windows in my house - all the windows that do not have screens in them. Peck-peck-peck.
He (she?) went away by the start of autumn, but has returned each summer to annoy the hell out of me. What on earth does this bird want? Is it the same bird, or maybe it's the 2nd or 3rd generation of the first bird? Aren't there other people to stalk? Why would a bird want to get in a house anyway?
It isn't the pecking that annoys me. It's the poop. It's really gross.
Nature really is for the birds.

someitmes birds just wanna be friends. my parents had a crow who used to come by every year, then one year she brought her three 'kids' with her. they knew they could be safe from dogs there, and had a big yard to roam in, and they did. 'lucy' as dad affectionatley named her, came by for another 5 summers, and then one year she no longer came, but there are offspring of her that still come in summer. enjoy the bird. poet
Poet - LOL! Here I was all grumpy about it, and you came along to make me see the sweetness. Yes, you're right, I think the bird probably does want to make friends. Too funny.
Oh, and I loved the quote on your blog - "Accept all & Expect nothing".
H'mm...that's interesting. I once had a lizard that wouldn't go away. Actually, I will tell that story on my blog.
Take care,
