Back Yard Terrorists
They are there. . in large numbers. . making noise. . attacking the cats. . ruling the roost.
They are smart, pushy, obnoxious. . yet entertaining, these suburban terrorists.

You call them terrorists? I call them freedom fighters.
Terrorists!
If they make a nest in your yard (uninvited, of course) they think they own that space and 10 yards around it. A couple of years ago, I got attacked every time I was leaving the garage, as those squatters made a nest in the shrubbery just outside the door. This summer, my mother was attacked daily in her back yard until the young'uns were up and out. I've seen them chase squirrels and cats that cross some unseen line, as if all creatures should somehow know where that limit is.
Off with their heads!
Oh, and CIV used to tease them. Jingling the car keys near their nest and trying to swat them when they attacked. We always barely missed each other.
I actually love them, even though they are harassing the cats a bit. Gizmo, my crazy outdoor cat, just ignores them. They do a good job alerting me when the neighbor's cat crosses the street and tries to sneak around to the back and eat the outdoor cats' food. Their major saving grace is that they take on the crows!
I get the idea that CIV bought "To Kill A Mockingbird" and was disappointed that it was a novel instead of an instruction manual.
Is that right? Dang. I wonder if I can return it.
The book, "To Kill a Mockinbird," . . . it's a cookbook!!!
Ture. . each of the characters has his or her own favorite receipes for cooking the bird.
Atticus: Blackened
Scout: BBQ
Jem: Baked
Boo: Raw
Bah, humbug. I don't cook. I'll have to eBay it.
I'm going to make my fortune in a Kentucky Fried Mockingbird franchise.
Do they taste like chicken?
