Baby birds and black holes…

In Black holes, baby birds on November 12, 2008 at 1:10 am

It’s baby bird season, and I’m on full time feeding duty
which is the equivalent of trying to fill in a supermassive black hole.
You’ve only just crammed their beaks full of worms, bugs and
bread when they’re screaming out for more. Where did it all go?
That was enough food to last me a week! If I try and stop for a
breather they scream blue murder and threaten to report me to
the SPCA. Beaks are no good for this, you can’t fit enough food in
them, where’s the gardener’s wheelbarrow?

Birdhouse blues…

They’ve put up a birdhouse that their
grandson made in school. It’s build
quality leaves a little to be desired. I know
I sound rather ungrateful, but that could
be something to do with the six inch nail
sticking into my rear. If the grandson
had sanded off some of the forty-two
thousand splinters on the inside of the
box that would have helped as well!
Also, he didn’t make the entrance hole big
enough for the fuller-figured bird
like myself, so it was a bit of a squeeze getting
in. Plus, the roof leaks, the floor smells
and it’s back wall just fell off. I guess that
solves the problem of the small entrance.
