Black Birds
A quick Corey update …. He’s home woo hoo he feels and looks so much better.
Do you remember the old Alfred Hitchcock movie The Birds ? The movie is almost coming true in Hobbs NM These black birds have taken over our neighborhood. We used to have sparrows , pigeons and doves around our house but now all we have is these nasty noisy crapping black birds. A few years ago I started seeing a few of black birds here and there now all of the sudden they have taken over our town. A big bunch of them roost in the big cedar trees across the street. Every morning and afternoon they start their chirping and pooping. They fly in swarms of 1000’s crapping on everything. I park my company truck on the curb away from any trees but you would think I parked under a tree from all the crap that gets on it. We have a big shade tree in our front yard that they just love to roost in. This afternoon I was standing on the front porch watching them fly around and it sounded like someone was dropping something on our carport, I got to watching closer and it was the birds crapping on it that was making the noise. It’s a constant struggle trying to keep the sidewalk clean, I can rinse it off today and tomorrow afternoon it’s covered again. I thought pigeons were bad but these things take the cake.
I made a quick video with my digital camera this afternoon just to share how noisy they are.

Wow! That is deafening. Does anyone have any theories about why you’re being invaded?
(Nala didn’t buy a pair of lovebirds recently, did she? Just checking…:) )
