Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for January 26, 2020

Haven’t seen any birds in the grocery store at which I’m newly employed. Well, if you count the chickens and turkeys in the frozen foods aisle.

Birds in airports unsettle me…mostly Hawaii although I’ve seen them in my city airport, San Jose

So if Darwin was living now it he would be doing research in supermarkets.

Health inspectors will close stores with live birds in then. Their poop has many dangerous diseases and parasites in it. Birds poop whether they are flying or not.

Richard Thompson hit a home run with this Sunday strip! Everything about it brings pure joy! Thank you Richard!

Sparrows in a grocery store is…wrong!

I love them a churpin’ in the garden annex of the big stores. Learn to enjoy the little surprises.

Birds have learned how to go in and out of the stores by using the automatic door openers.

Nature is most interesting when it’s described by Petey.

I’d love to hear his analysis of the birds in the big hardware stores(Home Depot, Lowes..). Petey is the best~although I’m suprised the birds don’t send him into arm-chewing hysterics)

I don’t think Menard’s has a coffee aisle, but most of the birds there are the nervous motion type.

We’ve often seen them in the grocery stores at the beach. Cool! And they don’t harm anything.

We get birds in our church pretty often… the roof is quite high, so it’s hard to get them out.

Only seen them in a grocery store once, but often in Big Box stores. I guess they know where the good bird seed is sold.

To balance things out, they should add predators. Circle of Life, you know.

An electrical supplier in Salem with a prefab steel building had a massive starling infestation in one wall. You could hear them as well as see them flying around inside.

And in books Petey, don’t forget books dear Petey. Myself, on the other hand, enjoy it here, there and everywhere.

Is it a broken record to keep repeating the praises of Richard Thompson? My heart happily skips a beat through the eddy of Cul de Sac.

Wha?
