Birds are assholes, Part 2

Hello Everyone, 

Starvation is nature's favourite lesson. Guard your resources, use them wisely, or in the dead of winter watch your children starve before you yourself fall to that horseman.

Nature is, indeed, a cruel teacher.

So you'd think the birds at the bird feeder wouldn't be making it rain seeds whenever they sit their cantankerous asses on the perch. 

First of all, there's room for six at this particular feeder, but you never see more than two at a time because they drive each other off to unnecessarily steal a spot at the trough. 

Second, they are wasteful AF. There is a spray of seeds that comes out whenever they gouge their greedy little beaks into the feeder. The ground below must have a solid six inches of perfectly good seed strewn about a 10 foot diameter splash zone. 

Third, they stare at you through the window daring you to do something about it, like the most annoying wannabe gangsters hanging out at the entrance of a suburban mall.

Birds are assholes.

The first is of Arthur meeting one of the neighbors.

The second is of the feeder in question at my folks' place. I watch those greedy bastards drain about 5 inches of seeds in the tube over a weekend.

The third is a cool pic of the cottage and Arthur and my sports car on a misty morning.

Lastly, another pic of the turtle. I've named it Caravaggio.
