Give them a crumb and they think they own the place.

Someone left some wine on the table at the Wine and Bird Seed Pavillion.

Doing a ricochet off a guy’s bald spot is going a little too far. Don’t you think?

The punch bowl (which had been spiked by someone) was left out uncovered & unguarded.

The sparrows used it as a birdbath and drinking fountain. They’re Flying While Intoxicated.

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

This is the scene at virtually every outdoor dining area on Hawaii. The myna birds sit in the nearby trees and dive in and grab any unguarded bits of food. The wait staff at the hotels are constantly having replace guests’ food after it’s been fouled by the birds.

With all the coffee they’re pilfering, it’s no wonder.

Is that a geriatric Tippi Hedren?

Around here it’s usually the gulls that pull that crap. :D

Falcon Leader there appears to have a bit of an Aileron problem…

He: I am not sitting on the patio any more! She: Do the birds bother you?

Those folk are lucky they don’t have pigeons

After I did the first major glass cleaning on my patio door in a couple of years, I was hearing sparrows ricochet off the windows for the next couple of days.

Naw, its funnier that way snowflake.

Sparrows look so innocent until they decide to shake up the neighbourhood.

After honing their skills at the outdoor section of Lowe’s, the little chirping buggers have gotten proficient.
