Yesterday our hawk showed up on the deck. It likes to sit sit on the deck rail. When I walked up to the door it looked at me and dropped a dead mouse and stared at me. Fucking thing trying to impress me?

It gets better. The hawk dropped its kill in a flower pot and when I dumped it the damn thing was a vole which I hate. Very good hawk. LOL

That's cool. It's also cool how these deck sitting Bald Eagles have adapted to human presence and leave domestic cats alone. woah . . .

I took my bird feeders down for the bird flu outbreak back in spring.
Since I put them back up the birds have been going bird wild!
Little ******* are eating a 2lb seed block in about a week and 2-3 scoops of bird chow per day in my window stick on feeder.
Birds are gonna get too fat and knock feeders down with their weight.
Me and Maggie Raptor love our bird friends!

I'll have time to set it up tomorrow.

I also purchased an extra one to give to a friend.
Haven't decided which friend, perhaps I will select a few and have them fight for it!
RAAAWWWRRR!!!

Fuckin A!
Thought I needed a new bird feeder pole to mount Bird Buddy but I rigged up an old speaker stand for it.
All set up and ready to send me bird pics in the morning while I sleep!

The wind blew down my Bird Buddy speaker stand rig!
Spilled seed all over patio and cracked the feeder's roof.
Solar part of the roof is ok. camera is ok.
Stand was way too wobbly so I cut the top off of a sturdier lamp stand and stuck rigged speaker stand into it.
Still no new bird pic even though I've seen birds on it.
Hmmm.....

Birds aren't real. They're actually government drones that are used to spy on us. Ever wonder why birds sit on power lines? It's because they are recharging.

Love my Bird Buddy feeder!
Mostly get house finches but other birds do show up now and then.
Hairy woodpecker, tufted titmouse (which is neither a tit or a mouse), even a starling.
Rawr!

Bird Buddy came with 3 links I can share.
1st one went to my mom. She digs birds and loves showing off the bird pics to her friends. Mom says lots of her friends want a Bird Buddy now.
2nd one went to my homies in MN. They get my Bird Buddy feed but want to get one for themselves.
