The Birds

I know there is already a book, and then a movie, and then a color movie, but I'm here to tell you a whole other about The Birds.

It all started Friday morning. It was a normal Friday morning. I woke up, and went to the bathroom to wash my face and brush my teeth and stuff. We have a round little window in the sink room of my bathroom, and I always look out it while I brush my teeth. Well, on Friday I was quite shocked to see 40, maybe 50 of the fattest, ugliest, red/brown/orange belliedest I have ever seen. And they were all sitting on the guys house across the alley.

I was quite shocked for many reasons. One, I'd never seen birds that even remotely resembled these birds. Two, there were SO many of them! And three, they were all sitting on that one roof, no other house or tree or fence or blade of grass.

Saturday Morning, I awoke to the same routine. I went to the bathroom to wash my face, brush my teeth, and the like. By Saturday I had forgotten all about these odd ball birds. Until I brushed my teeth and looked out the window. This time there were just as many birds, but they were no longer on the same house. They had all moved to the house across the alley NEXT DOOR to the house they were at the day before. Well, I though this very odd indeed. And again, besides the few in the air, all the other identical birds were only sitting on the roof, and nowhere else.

Well, I don't look out that direction much, and I again forgot about these ugly, fat birds. Until Sunday morning. I would tell you I went to the bathroom again, but that would be incredibly pointless to tell you about in this blog because that's not where I saw them! So I won't waste my time with that. Instead, I'll tell you that I was sitting on the floor of my bedroom, against one of those little chair pillows (it's really fun, it's blue and yellow/orange tie dye and it's cool!) doing my homework. History or math, I bet. And I looked out my window, and what should I see but those 40 or 50 ugly birds sitting on my neighbor's house!! None on any other house, none on any trees or on the ground. No sir, they'd moved again, this time to my side of the alley.

Well let me tell you, I was worried then. So far they'd only been on 3 houses, but on each of those houses they left a butt load of poop. (Maybe 40 or 50 butt loads, actually.) Frankly, I didn't want to be the next victim of these overweight birds. But what choice did I have?

Well, Monday came. I woke up, went to the bathroom to do my thing, and who should I see but a bunch of yellow-bellied birds on my roof. But, by some miracle, they chose Monday to break apart! Instead of having 40 or 50 birds pooping on my roof, I had about 10. The rest were on all the other roofs they'd already been to.

Today is Wednesday. Since they first abruptly appeared on Friday, they have stayed on just our 4 roofs. But there are no longer 40 or 50. Those numbers are now down to 38 or 48, because my cat, being the skilled hunter that she is, caught 2 and brought them to my mother, who promptly disposed of them in our garbage can.

I am done.
