From Not Always Right: A Funny Lark That’s Tough To Swallow
Me: “Raptor rehabilitation, can I help you?”
Caller: “Yes. There’s a hawk swooping down eating the songbirds off of my bird feeder. Is there anything I can do?”
Me: “Well, not really. You can try moving the feeder near a bush where the songbirds can hide.”
Caller: “There are a lot of chipmunks where I live.”
Me: “Yes?”
Caller: “Do you think I can put up a sign telling the hawk to eat the chipmunks instead of the songbirds?”
Me: “I don’t think that will work, sir. Hawks don’t read well.”
Caller: “Oh. I’ll try it anyway.”
(I need to clean and refill my own feeder, but I will have to hang it quite a bit higher: CATS)
