I love birds, after all I have a cockatiel as a pet and at one time owned four of them at the same time. I'm finding myself also happy to see the birds back from the winter outside.
I'm also hating the birds back from the winter at the same time. At some point between 3 and 5 in the morning they start going with the twittering and it doesn't cease until the evening. After all, they ARE birds. I can't blame them for being... well.. bird-ish. But after so much time of putting up with getting woken up or kept up the minute the birds outside go "OH! Dawn in a few hours! Better get busy!" I'm finding myself perhaps a little.. 'off' due to decreased sleep.
Casually talking to a friend of mine, he stated pretty plainly that if any robins land in his backyard, they're dinner.
At this point, while I absolutely adore birds, I'm thinking robin for dinner is looking pretty good seeing there is no remote mute button for the twittering jerk. That one who gets up before the crack of dawn at 3am or some point after...
