This weeks theme is Two
Two birds, two photos …
They have their eye on something …
Yep it was one of the bird feeders …
I wrote a post the other day saying the birds that visit my yard are pigs.
It’s true. These birds are fairly small and the one feeder in the photo is about two feet tall and perhaps 6 inches in diameter. They can clean this feeder out in as little as one or two days depending on how many birds come around.
As someone commented on my piggy post I also do believe that the birds tell their friends that they’ve found a great place to eat and more and more birds show up over time. There’s no such thing as secret dining establishments in the bird world.
I play a weekly poker tournament at a casino. I don’t really care to eat there real often, I prefer to go sit by the ocean or at a park, or I don’t know somewhere natural and quiet, while I get ready for my game.
This was one of my first trips out to play the game there. I decided to stop by a little cafe across the street, ordered some soup, it came with cornbread, and took my lunch, and a book up to park by the ocean.
After a beautiful walk along the Pacific Ocean, it as lunch time. I began with the soup, as I don’t much care for corn bread, though I did dip a few chunks in the soup..
A seagul came along, landed on my mirror, far as I can tell, he wanted some corn bread too, I mean it might not be my favorite thing to eat, but even I can smell that lovely aroma.
So, I’m a sharing kind of girl, I tore off a chunk, and I tossed it out for him.
BIG MISTAKE!
The bird then starts squawking, loudly! I’m thinking, dumb bird, I only have so much corn bread, you could have had it all.
But nope, it appears there was a party being scheduled, atop my mini-van, and the pathetic little gull I had decided to share with was the host.
I broke the rest of the corn bread into chunks.. through those pieces out of the window..
Now I’m out of cornbread and gulls are pecking on my rooftop, standing on my windsheild, as fast as I can get the window up .. there are birds trying to get their beaks inside!
I look around, many people are watching, snickering. They know what an idiotic thing I did 😛
I go to back up, birds EVERYWHERE! I was late to the game by the time i got out … 3 times.. and shooed them all away 😛
You take great bird photos. The first one on the wire, that photo is so funny!
I am letting them finish off the sun flowers. I’ll buy seed later.
What a great post I like the first caption you gave the first photo it lead us to the second. I love watching the birds feed in the garden. Thanks for sharing.

That first photo is GREAT! My daughter just happened by as I was reading your post, and she said, “Mom, it looks like those two birds are mad at each other, and they are saying, “I’m not talking to you! Yeah, well I’m not talking to you either!””
