birds of a feather

Love of my life = "Bird" or stage name "Flirt".  She's been out free-flying again this week.  Down at number 257...  Just 10 doors down!  After I put up all the signs - 30 minutes later and the phone rang - :) and then another 4 hours to pull down signs!  The things we do!   We've been finding her out browsing and grazing a bit in the last week or so.  We knew we were missing something.  Strategically I pulled out the sunflower seeds and sat outside waiting for the temptation to be just too much.  It worked ...  She's been pushing past the fly strips half way up the fence!!!!  Years ago she was frightened of them - I guess that's what happens from exposure = familiarity.  So I've patched it all up eiht the staple gun & anti bird netting... and pooh - didn't she get frustrated this morning when her escaped route had been changed!!!!! 

I WAS NOT POPULAR!  lol

Maybe she's been watching the chickens - Spotty or Lucy, I'm not sure which. The chicken has worked out how to get through the doggie flap!!  Whoever said birds were dumb was dumb himself.....notice the "him"?
