Damn Birds



We were sitting in the kitchen the other morning having a great conversation, when mid sentence Mikey and I started laughing at the same time. There was a menagerie of birds outside that were making such a racket that we couldn't concentrate on what we were saying.
(Sidenote: when we moved into our neighborhood 4 years ago, we were rudely awakened the first morning to a private aviary singing a triumphant chorus right outside our window. We have slowly gotten use to it, but each Spring the aviary comes back and in full force).
Mikey looked out the window, saw that they were magpies, and came back into the kitchen with his bb gun. He marched straight outside and happily started shooting. No birds were shot but they were definitely scared away. It was a great way to start off a Saturday morning with a laugh.
