We’ve got blue birds nesting in the yard. The male sees his reflection in the car windows and tries to drive off the “intruder”. In the process he poops all over the side of the car and the side view mirror (uses it for a perch). I’ve been washing the side of the car two or three times a day for weeks.
My wife calls it ‘yardening’. It’s like gardening, but you do the whole yard and pots on the driveway. Ate the first pole bean yesterday. Four more tomatoes to transplant today, then clean the greenhouse.
to answer Janis in panel one, if you live near a good farmers market, you have the money and you are asking yourself is it worth it then probably no its not worth it.
For some decades we have had two 18th century reproduction ceramic “bird bottles” one on our garage and one on our shed. The same family of birds seemed (or so it seemed to us) to come back every year to the one on the garage – none ever went into the one on the shed.
Some how this past winter the bottle on the garage fell off and broke. We tried to replace it with the one from the shed – but that one has the hanging section cut out differently and could not hang on the garage so we put it back on the shed hoping they would find it.
The birds came back and flew around and around all upset (we watched them). Husband tried to direct to them to the shed, but they did not go. We saw several times afterwards looking for someplace to “summer” in but never seemed to find a place and they left.
Despite the now lack of drippings on our RV – we miss them. We hope that maybe this summer they will come and move into the bottle on the garage.

Well, the “poop” is inside a fecal sack. So, not really poop in the mouth. I’m sure they are happy for that! LOL

I’ve been watching bluebird nesting cameras on YouTube. That’s exactly what they do.

I repainted my blue bird this year. Not native so I have a garden statue. I get a landscaper to do most of the cleanup which works great.

Maybe it would be a lot more fun and rewarding if Arlo would get up off his fat Azz and help.

I hope Arlo is not talking about sex today. Earlier in the week someone said “if a man says it, it is about sex”.
