The Blackbirds get "boogy fever"

Pop took a trip and the entire group of Blackbirds were completely out of character, when I saw them. They were dancing and jumping and playing and flying around. They took Pop's maneuver book and stomped on it while they danced and shouted. It was a happy kind of dance and I felt good that I could see why Pop keeps such a tight reign on them because they are wild birds, I say.
They had absolutely no decorum, when Pop's back was turned. I really can't wait until Pop gets back to see what he has to say about this unbecomming behavior.
Or, will they tell him? There is always one snitch, isn't there?

Sparrow's Spring nest

Mr. and Mrs. Sparrow were caught, by me yesterday, shopping together for a new home. They flitted and flirted, just outside my window. Talking and discussing and lovingly disagreeing, if not arguing the benefits and the pitfalls of living at our house.
Mrs. Sparrow was very impressed with the 2 "ready made" nests hung outside our window. Mr. Sparrow hadn't even thought of them as "ready-made" nests. He used them for the provision of building materials for the private home that he had in mind in a surprise and hidden place. He doesn't like the openness, at all, of our porch. It's much too populated. When Mr. Sparrow gets it into his mind to give his sweet chicky a peck, he wants the freedom to do it without a bunch of younguns peeking over the nest to see what comes next.
Mrs. Sparrow was impressed that the porch was fully protected from hailstones. We all know what happened to a great many of last years' nests in that surprise hailstorm we had. Male birds seem to have a very short memory for storms. They have only one thing in mind in the nest building season... 03/09
