The Grackles appeared in greater numbers after that. They cleaned everything out and squirrel did in fact leave in disgust. I am well trained. After I inspected the trees later, I put another scoop of birdseed out, and Mr. and Mrs. Squirrel had their dinner before it got dark!
Now I ask, who is the one who has been trained here? I looked in the mirror later and said, "Yep!" Also, bird seed is back on the shopping list.
I hope this brought a smile.
Thanks for visiting and may
your day be happy!
We have been well trained too - and I am happy about it.
ReplyDeleteI don't mind at all, in fact I consider them a gift :) It's not a problem is it, especially for the hours of enjoyment they provide us? :) Thanks Sue and many of us are in the same boat and don't mind at all :)))
DeleteIt brought a BIG smile! I always like reading your amusing captions. And WOW, LOOK at all of them on that feeder! It's a wonder they did not break it! Good thing birds have hollow bones! I'm glad the squirrel finally got a peaceful dinner.
ReplyDeleteSo glad Ginny, thank you :) The Grackles are in even greater numbers. I also have a few crows stop by but the truth is I like all of these birds. I still have the littler ones come by too, and a couple coming in that are making their way through.
DeleteGlad to hear!
ReplyDeleteThank you Cloudia :)
DeleteThose grackles are greedy for sure. They always show up in large numbers too. Poor Mr Squirrel. Glad he got something to eat later on.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ann, that's very true :)
DeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteThat is a lot of Starlings, they are piggies. The squirrel does not have to worry about food. Take care, have a happy day!
They certainly are, and there are more waiting in the wings, pardon the pun :) You take care and have a happy day also :)
DeleteGreat post. Love the bubble captions. The yard critters have you well trained. I hope bird seed is in stock (I heard on the news last night that pet food in stores is near gone & restocking is a no-go).
ReplyDeleteThank you Anni, happy you enjoyed :) That's troubling about the pet food.
DeleteStarlings and their friends are very aggressive around feeders.
ReplyDeleteThey certainly area, very territorial! Thanks Red :)
Deletebob tells me every day that Beau has me well trained, it is not a bad thing haveing a cute animal tell you what to do... i love the one that say we have to wait our turn too.. made me howl with laughter. each one of these is quite amazing to me... Clown/comedian Grackles! what could be better
ReplyDeleteThat's a good thing :) I'm happy you had a good chuckle at this Sandra, thank you!
DeleteIt really is interesting to learn about all the types of birds and their habits. Some are pretty nasty. Fun post!
ReplyDeleteIt is interesting I agree Ellen :) Thank you!
DeleteAwesome!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Anne :)
DeleteLove this post and yes it made me smile 😊 I hope all is well, Diane
ReplyDeleteThat's great Diane, thank you :)
DeleteThey love your place for good reason!
ReplyDeleteThanks Christine :) In return they bring a lot of smiles around here, from us and from those who visit.
DeleteOddly enough, I don't see grackles at my feeder, though they are plentiful in the neighborhood. Maybe they like the ditch better!
ReplyDeleteThat's fascinating Jeanie.
DeleteThey've got it made, don't they?
ReplyDeleteThey certainly do William :)
DeleteHi Linda, they only started turning up a couple of months back. I haven't seen any Grackles or Starlings for years.
ReplyDeletei am smiling and i also have been trained by the squirrels and birds. those grackles are quite aggressive here too!!
ReplyDeleteThat's great Debbie, and a kindred spirit :) I think those grackles are a bit naughty eveerywhere ;)
DeleteMore than one smile actually Denise!!! We used to have squirrels who almost knocked on our sliding patio doors if I forgot to fill the feeders. No grackles in Oregon, but we had starlings who mis-behaved the same
ReplyDeleteThen my job is done :) thank you Sallie. That's funny about the squirrels and starlings are very naughty too, aren't they? :)
