    “And it’s your feeder, not mine, so why should I care?”

    One wouldn’t think there’d be a week’s worth of jokes to be wrung out of two elderly people watching birds and raccoons at a backyard feeder.

    One would be right.

    Of course Lizard Lil is unhappy. Raccoons are immune to the bird poisons in her seeds.

    This coming from a man who is always trying to find ways to get rid of the squirrels that invade his feeders.

    Birds won’t tip over your garbage cans and make a mess looking for scraps.

    I once designed a squirrel-proof bird feeder. I could hear the squirrels snickering as I installed it.

    It’s what you call “creating a dependent nuisance” and that’s a very bad thing.

    I’ve been hanging a suet cake out for years with no problems until last summer. Then a raccoon discovered it. Now I have to bring it in every night.

    Raccoons have a Venn Diagram of “OMG, SOOO CUUTE!” and “OMG, does the giant dog-monkey thing have RABIES?” One would think the intersection would be “Yeah, daytime raccoon trying to eat birds…We’ll all just stay in the house today, and maybe call Animal Control.” Here, it’s just “Let’s talk loudly about it loudly, where it could easily leap onto our faces!” “Yes, Lillian, I myself have smeared dog food on my head! Why, look, he’s noticed!”

    She wants the birds around, not kill them.

    I was driving the patrol car through the park at night, and I pulled up next to a garbage can with a flap lid to throw away my coffee cup. A raccoon was inside it, and was almost as surprised as I was! He’s lucky I couldn’t draw while sitting in the driver’s seat!

    One of Batman’s worst enemies,Black Mask, went crazy when bitten by a rabid raccoon as a kid(hisparents thought it was “nothing” and didn’t take him to a doctor).

    Our next door neighbor for 15 years had 7 birdfeeders in the backyard. Since he moved 2 years ago, we’re getting a lot fewer mice…….

    Better be careful what you say about the racoons and Lil’s birdhouse, Ed. That is you want continued access to her rum balls.
