Subject: TAKE DOWN THE BIRD FEEDER!


> TAKE DOWN THE FEEDER!

> I bought a bird feeder. I hung it on my back porch and filled it with

> filled it lovingly with seed.
> 
> Within a week we had hundreds of birds taking advantage of the
> continuous flow of free and easily accessible food.
> 
> But then the birds started building nests in the boards of the patio,
> above the table, and next to the barbecue.
> 
> Then came the poop. It was everywhere: on the patio tile, the chairs,
> the table ... everywhere!
> 
> Then some of the birds turned mean. They would dive bomb me and try to
> peck me even though I had fed them out of my own pocket.
> 
> And other birds were boisterous and loud. They sat on the feeder and

> 
> After a while, I couldn't even sit on my own back porch anymore. So I

> Soon, the back yard was like it used to be ... quiet, serene and no one

> If you agree, pass it on; if not, continue cleaning up the poop!
