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 is, 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.

Then the illegal's came by the tens of thousands. Suddenly our taxes went up to pay for free services; small apartments are housing 5 families; you have to wait 6 hours to be seen by an emergency room doctor; your child's 2nd grade class is behind other schools because over half the class doesn't speak English.

Corn Flakes now come in a bilingual box; I have to "press one" to hear my bank talk to me in English, and people waving flags other than "Old Glory" are squawking and screaming in the streets, demanding more rights and free liberties.

Just my opinion, but maybe it's time for the government to take down the bird feeder.

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

you are definately right about the last paragraph, --------------------------------but most birds ain't building nests this time of year, have biggdowgg, and ozzieohio build you a medium deck. and the birds won't poop on you so much. if you are not still using the feeder, my flock is growing daily. just went to wild birds unlimited tonight, by the mall.

I would love to have a deck off the back of my house.

I had a guy give me an estimate and it seemed rather high so I put it on hold.

YOU CALLED THE WRONG GUYS.

I didn't know who to call.

When I got that estimate, I was in shock so I didn't get any others.

CALL DOWGG, AND OZZIE, ALREADY. YOU CAN GET ANY SIZE DECK YOU WANT. YOU CAN'T BEAT THEIR WORK.

OK

now about that unused bird feeder.

ballparent, i was at sam's the other day, i checked out the bird seed they had, it looked to be a great mixture. and a good deal, for somebody that may have one or 2 smaller feeders. but i just feed so many birds, i figured it out, and that would last me 4 days. for me it is much cheaper mixing my own, expensive initially to buy all the stuff, but lasts longer that way. but it was a good deal, especially with safflower in it. which is extremely expensive.
