I HATE BIRDS..I think they smell fear!

I hate birds for a number of reasons but as I get older they seem to get bigger and bigger. Ever since I was little I have had a fear...yes...a fear of them! I know it is soooo silly!! When I was younger they had a tendency to come down through our fire place and into the house. One had made it's way into my bedroom..pooped all over. Not pretty. Once T and I got married it happened a few more times as we had an older home with a wood burning fire place. The little butts would make their way into the house and fly around and freak me right out! I remember calling T once in tears and he just laughing at me! Sad huh?! So....I called my dad! And he did come out and get it out of my house! I know I sound like a huge baby and I am! When we finally bought a house with a gas fire place I was so relieved!!! You will not ever catch me watching "the birds" movie...It takes a lot for me to walk through the bird place at the zoo... and seagulls at the beach are not my friends.
So....for my latest bird adventure!! A month or so ago my sister had come to my door and was a little freaked a bird had flown out once she walked up. Not thinking anything of it. A few days go I had noticed bird poo all over my kick plate...yesterday as Brittyn was going out the front door for school she said " mom they build a nest in there" (the wreath) WHAT!!! I shout the door right them and made her go out the garage! Lame me huh?! I put something about it on my Face book status and my sweet neighbor Nicole came to my rescue. The nest was full of babies..5 of them. WHAT again! I am freaking! They can't fly and a few got loose. Nicole being so sweet and scooping them up in a cup to make sure they got back to the nest! Me still freaking! Bird poo was all over my door and it took major amounts of scrubbing to get it clean! Only me people! I think birds smell fear!! My friend Nicole is my hero for saving me from some babies birds! I just keep thinking of all the "would ifs!" That door opens and shuts 100 times a day...how long had they been there? Long enough! Would if one day I had opened the door and they flew in! Lol....I am bad and I know I sound 5! Oh well....maybe one day and maybe not! The wreath was totally moved out of sight form me and we have been peeking on them and the mom seems to be feeding them still. They wont be around for long as they are big and ready to fly! My lovely poo covered door. You can see on the peek of my house the momma bird watching all that was going on...I thought she was going to attack us! Yikes!

I love that story. It's exactly what's been going on next door. I went to her front door a couple weeks ago, and the bird came flying at me. I freaked out. I'm not a fan of birds either. Now I call her and tell her to open the door before I come so the bird will fly away before I get there. The mama keeps watch and squaks a lot when people are around the front door. Annoying I'm sure for you too. I'm not coming over to your house until they are gone either. haha. Next spring, don't put up a wreath. Duh!!! hehe

Holy cow! I'm impressed it lasted being on the front door! I'm glad someone came to your rescue! I'm afraid I wouldn't have been much help!
