04/30/08: Bird Fun: A couple weeks ago, I was getting ready for work and I heard a bump...bump...bump coming from the dining room. Kisu was sleeping so I knew it wasn't her. I slowly walked in there, and there was this bird (one of those little wrens, I think) on the evergreen, right outside the window. On my side of the window is also a tree, so the bird is trying to fly from the evergreen to the other tree, but he bumps into the window and goes back to the evergreen. This went on for several minutes (with no apparent damage to the bird, I might add) until I chased him away. This happened a couple more days since, and once I tried to get some video of him, but it was too dark to see anything.
Now we have a new problem. Stephie called me last Friday and said that she almost gagged when she went to her car because it was full of bird poop. I had noticed a dropping on my car when I left the house, but I didn't get a good look at the passenger side of my car, and when I checked, it was pretty loaded as well. We had a bird poop problem in the past because there are some telephone and cable lines going over where we park in the back, but we were not parked under the lines this time, and also, why her driver's door and my passenger door?
The next day, I found out why. I peeked out the back and saw a robin hopping from Stephie's car to mine, back and forth, over and over. And you know what birds do almost as well as fly? That's right: poop. Stephie had had her car professionally washed after the last coating, and it was covered with poop again! I went back to get the camera, but he was gone when I got back. I hauled out the hose and washed the new poop off, and he didn't come back for a couple days. But look what I found when I was going to work this morning. I got out there and this goofy robin is sitting on her car! He took off when he saw me, but the picture here shows that he had been there for a while.
Ain't nature wonderful?
