Once there was a friend...

Now a foe?




This little guy made his home in my hanging basket last summer - around this time. Sadly, not much after this picture, his siblings joined him and they KILLED my flowers (there were 3 more just like this one).


So I took the baskets away.


And bye bye birdie.


BUT...


I think he is back. And he is mad. A mad pooper that is. Seriously, our deck, grill and house look like WWIII has hit with little white "bombs" every where!


So how fitting that last night I happened to open this picture and the kids ask "mom, is that the bird that is pooping every where?"


I do love the picture even if the little stinker has gone all swine flu on me!


Pally? This is just a snippet of what you will enjoy when you visit "St. Jim" next month!

  1. This is the very reason I can't have any hanging baskets or even keep my garage door open during the day. The instant I put either of them up, the winged settlers move in and lower the property values!

  2. Haha! You are cracking me up! Husband asked for a bird feeder for our deck a couple weeks ago, so Anja could watch the birds. I asked him if he really felt that was a good trade-off for her no longer being able to go on the deck, since I knew there would be so much poop. He decided he'd rather let her see birds from afar than make her stay in the house. :)

  3. Oh great. I come to worship at the shrine of *St. Jim* only to be shat upon by the winged natives. Just give 'em the damn flowers already! ;P
