Today was a big day for one of my young nieces--she graduated eighth grade. When school starts again she will be in high school and before long leaving the nest the way fledglings do.
Which brings me to what happened after I returned to my little house. I found a starling in my kitchen. There was no open windows or doors or any way that I could find for it to have entered.
I spent quite a while trying to get it out through an open door but the critter was territorial in the fact it tried to beat me up.
A bird newly arrived in my kitchen wanted me gone. Yep that was my territory the dratted thing had invaded!
I went and got one of my young relatives hoping to chase the thing away.
I won't go into detail but needless to say it seemed more a case of keystone kops or three stooges than anything. So when my young friend Fairweather accuses me of being territorial I guess I have to admit it.
Does anyone have a method to keep the birds from coming back
Thank you Anex and Bella. Yes my whole weekend was very nice-- on sunday the 25th I was invited to a cookout, the 26th went up into the mountains with the man in my life and on the 27th (the actual day) went with Fairweather and Willard up to a beautiful place called Cade's Cove. I saw lots of herbs that could be used for potent medicine but you are not allowed to even get a root to start a plant from there because it's within a national park.
