NiTay614 Posted May 4, 2010 Report Posted May 4, 2010 Every spring, I find it humorous as the birds begin their nesting. This year again has brought the opportunity to laugh. There is a robin who has chosen after being evicted three times, to utilize the protective nature of our gas grill as a bird house. I think we made it easy for her to make this her shelter. My husband replanted grass seed and covered it with straw a mere distance from the grill. She has used our straw to erect her villa, and I surmized consumed the grass seed, seeing that the area remains bare. Even our cat is aware that she is in there, but has not determined the mechanics at getting to her. The last two years, we taped off the front door, because a swallow built her nest over the front door. To prevent any meesy catastrophies there was a sign stating, "LOOK OUT BELOW, BOMBING IN PROGRESS." I guess were going to have to find an alternative to grilling for the next couple months for it is now her HOME TWEET HOME!!! Quote
Travis Posted May 5, 2010 Report Posted May 5, 2010 Is the Homesteading Act still in place? If so, I think the bird has claimed legal rights to your grill. Quote
grampa Posted May 5, 2010 Report Posted May 5, 2010 Make a soul singer out of the bird, turn on the grill till its BILL WITHERS Quote
NiTay614 Posted May 6, 2010 Author Report Posted May 6, 2010 Frankly, I keep asking friend and family members '"HOW THEY LIKE THEIR EGGS, scambled or sunny side up" I can only imagine the fire if someone were to ignite the grill seeing that her nest is 100% straw. It's a sacrifice of the LIVE AND LET LIVE value system. After all, birds do afford beauty and harmony in the earths ecosystem. It is affording me laughter because the cat is determined to concure this exuberant frotress. The labs they do not seem to notice. I am growing expectant of her presence everytime I venture outside to work on my scroll projects, now that the weather is functionally fit to do so. Quote
