Those Ungrateful Little...

Still windy. I'm fine with this sort of weather, but there's something that keeps bothering me. The birds; so many of them while I'm out here, but that really isn't my issue. My issue is that there are so many of them, yet none of them have landed on my tree at all. Is there something wrong with my tree that I don't know about? Could it be the strong wind; could it be that I'm out here at the time (could it be that they just don't like my tree!)? Do they ever land on my tree; I haven't seen one land on it once. Maybe I'm just not looking at the right time. What really hurts me is that they go somewhere else that I find degrading. Want to know where they go instead? The electrical wires (or are they called telephone wires?). They go to the electrical wires, something man made, instead of a tree, something that existed on Earth way before those things were invented! Electrical wires just took up space from the little guys while the many trees in the world helped them survive for many, many years. Sure I can understand when a few birds land on the electrical wires, but a lot of them all at once!? Really? That is just being mean and picky. This is exactly what it's like with little kids today; nowadays kids would choose tablets over board games, building blocks, even toy tools. It's just sad now, I would love to see a bunch of kids playing a game outside like tag without any technology distractions. Just like for the birds, if those wires were never there in the first place, where would they be instead? It would be like fighting addiction; the best way to kick the habit is if the "thing" isn't there in sight. Oh, but there's no way that I'm going to take those wires away, I won't have cable anymore (wow, I sound really selfish). Maybe I should find a way to get rid of the birds instead...nah. I will just hope that the birds won't be so cold hearted next time. Wish me luck.

  1. That's weird that no birds have landed on your tree. Maybe they're not attracted to something on the tree. You should do a little background research on the type of tree you have and see if they contain something irritating to birds. You should also do a little research of the birds flying around near you,they may only like certain trees.
