My Bird Feeder Experiment
I bought a bird feeder. I hung It on my back porch and filled It with seed. What a beauty of a bird feeder it was, as I 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 others birds were boisterous and loud. They sat on the feeder and squawked and screamed at all hours of the day and night and demanded that I fill it when it got low on food.
After a while, I couldn't even sit on my own back porch anymore. So I took down the bird feeder and in three days the birds were gone. I cleaned up their mess and took down the many nests they had built all over the patio.
Soon, the back yard was like it used to be....Quiet, serene.... And no one demanding their rights to a free meal.
Now let's see. Our government gives out free food, subsidized housing, free medical care and free education, and allows anyone born here to be an automatic citizen. OK.
But then illegal's came by the tens of thousands. And it became obvious that our taxes had to go up to pay for more free services; and small apartments were soon housing 5 families; hospital emergency rooms weren’t for emergencies any more so you might have to wait hours to be seen by an emergency room doctor; your child's second grade class was behind other schools because over half the class don't speak English.
But at least Corn Flakes now come in a bilingual box; I have to 'press one' to hear a Bank of America employee talk to me in English; and people who are here illegally are marching around waving flags other (than 'Old Glory'), squawking and screaming in the streets, demanding THEIR rights.
Hmm. Just my opinion, but maybe it's time for the government to ‘take down the bird feeder’. I don’t know about you, but I am getting tired of cleaning up the poop!
Till Next Time. Pura Vida
