Bird Feeder Bet- Day 4 and Counting

Well Sarah's family came in town this weekend to visit us in Graceland, USA. We had a splendid time celebrating Sally's birthday and we even surprised her with Elizabeth coming in town from Chicago. Since her parents came on Thurs. night, and we had to work the next day, they had the whole day to themselves on Friday. Walt, Sarah's dad, decided to do some yard work for us in the back yard. Let me give you an idea of what our yard is like in the back. It's a tree short of being like the Amazon rain forest. It is probably one of the most diverse ecological systems in the US. We have every plant, weed, species known to man back there. One species we have in particular is birds. You would think that you are on the Mississippi Flyway during peak duck season when you are back there. The zoo ain't got %#&$ on us. If the cardinals, or sparrows ever go on the endangered species list, they need to come to our house and get some to breed. We have plenty. Well Walt decided we need to feed these birds, instead of letting them live off the land. I agreed because I am afraid that the birds are going to get sick b/c they are eating the over poisoned roaches in the back. Yes...I sprayed enough chemicals on the house and inside to rival Los Alamos, NM nuclear reactivity. Sarah and Walt take the trip down to the hardware store and come back with a fancy squirrel proof bird feeder. They fasten it up to the tree and we begin to watch for birds. Well this is the reason I blog today...We are still watching and we are on day 4. The birds have no clue what it is. They fly around this thing like it is a land mine. I am officially starting the count of how many days it takes until a bird eats out of this thing. Sarah will be the judge since she works from home. I will keep you posted through the blog. I have bets that it takes 20 days until the first bird eats out of the feeder. Anyone else want to place bets? Winner gets $10 from me...publish a comment to place your bets.
