Default Bird Burglary

Went to Sweet Bay yesterday in our golf cart. When we came out of the store we saw a black bird attacking a bag of cough drops in our cart. He also had the nerve to leave us a crappy present on the seat. Ugh!

Those monsters. They tear open our trash at every opportunity and make a huge mess, but better than human ones stealing it to find out how to rob our savings.

Yup. And genetics. Do they offer bird behavioral modification? If not I am still gonna cuss at them. But I like their sisters and cousins and their aunts and your bird and LOVE your bird's brother Crosby. yup. There is some hope for me.


Maybe.

BBM? I think there's a weekly meeting in one of the local trees.

And my bird could use summa that. He's no saint!

Maybe this bird did not have enough money to buy a bag of cough drops regularly. But leaving a crappy present on the seat, thats a behavior which we shouldn't excuse!

We used to have a woodpecker who'd come at all hours and peck out the rubber around our windshield. He was completely incorrigible and without concern for the property of others. One day, he stopped coming. I assume he's in jail. We moved to another state and bought another car. When he gets out, I just hope he can't find us. But if he does, I'll be signing him up for your BBM class PDQ.

Were they Smith Bros. , Loudon's, or Generic ? Crows are pretty fussy.
