After witnessing furry animals looking for food, some time later the Mister heard a loud bang outside. The furry ones had disappeared by the time he peered through the curtains. He couldn't see anything amiss and went to bed...
but the next morning...
The Froggies3 could not wait to tell him (he understands froggy also).
The other birds listened with great sympathy.
The Carolina Wren thought it was probably an accident, that they couldn't have meant to cause such a catastrophe to Froggies3. The Black-capped Chickadee agreed...
and so did the visiting moth who joined in half-way through the conversation. He was trying to get into the house and though the Mrs. told him he was very welcome to stay on the screen, she didn't really want him taking up residence inside. So sorry, she said, but explained the weather was warmer now.
The Mourning Doves for all that they had such kind hearts...
were a little more skeptical, especially when they saw these mug shots. Naughty Boy definitely had the touch of the rascal in his countenance. Wannaby Naughty Boy at least looked a little remorseful.
Sparrow remained on the rail post, taking it all in but saying nothing.
Well, everyone deserves a second chance and besides, Froggy Fairy worked her magic.
and so they stayed and lived happily ever after, and the little furry rascals were forgiven by all.
And so it goes on a Saturday Morning at the Bird Feeder.
Just delightful Denise, lovely photos too...enjoyed
ReplyDeleteThank you Margaret, so glad you enjoyed it :)
DeleteOh my gracious! You are a very understanding nature lover, Denise. We had raccoons living underneath our deck and we sealed the deck to keep them out. Have a wonderful Saturday, Denise.
ReplyDeleteI point my finger in my father's direction, and towards his mother too. They loved anything in nature. No, I wouldn't want the little rascals taking up residence in or under our house :) Thank you Kay, you have a wonderful Saturday also :)
DeleteAwesome what happens at night! Very nice story and beautiful pictures. Especially those of birds. You made me smile! Have a beautiful weekend!
ReplyDeleteHello Katerina :) isn't it? Glad you enjoyed, thank you so much and you have a beautiful weekend also. I always imagine the sun is always shining in Greece :)
DeleteLOL Naughty boy...good job, Froggy Fairy!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a naughty boy ;) and yes, she did her job well. Thank you Angie :)
DeleteTheir conversations are like old friends having a chat
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely way to say it roentare, thank you :)
DeleteCute, I am glad the froggies are back to normal and safe on the bottom shelf.
ReplyDeleteThose are naughty raccoons! Have a great weekend.
Me too Eileen, I missed them for the short time they were away. Yes, naughty raccoons :) You have a great weekend also!
DeleteOh, I loved this story and that Froggies3 lived to tell the tale, otherwise you would never have known just what happened. Great photographs, too:-)
ReplyDeleteSo glad jabblog :) good to know the story and thank you :)
DeleteWell those little rascals. That wasn't very neighborly of them to destroy Froggies 3. So did you fix that one or buy a new one?
ReplyDeleteLove all the photos, especially the mourning doves. Those AI mug shots of the raccoons are pretty cute too.
No, not very neighborly at all :) I bought a new one. Glad you enjoyed Ann, thank you!
DeleteRaccoons can wreak havoc, as I know only too well. We had to pay to have one removed from the attic, and my bird feeders are guaranteed to be on the ground if I forget to bring them in at night.
ReplyDeleteThey certainly can, fortunately we don't have too many issues with them. I wouldn't be happy if one got into the attic. I do remember one or two of my hanging birdfeeders disappearing, and suspected they might have had something to do with that :) I try to remember to bring them in at night but forget sometimes.
Deletemiss froggy fairy can make me smile. This is the first time i'm visiting your blog. Nice to read this post ^^
ReplyDeleteGreetings Mbul Kecil, welcome to my blog :) I'm happy you enjoyed my post, thank you!
DeleteHappy Saturday! I learned when the birds appear so puffed up they are conserving heat like that carolina wren, it is not overweight!
ReplyDeleteHappy Saturday to you also Christine. I've noticed the puffed-up feathers, and nature is very clever taking care of our little friends :)
DeleteI laughed and smiled and giggled all the way through and you KNOW how much I LOVE THIS! I thought you would replace it with metal.. I thought it was metal, did not know it was ceramic.. good idea to put it lower to the deck. good job with AI
ReplyDeleteyou have a gift telling it what to do
You made my day Sandra :) so glad you get a kick out of this and thank you for the sweet compliments. I actually realized it was ceramic when it arrived as I had also thought I was buying metal. They were just painted to look that way. I didn't read the product description very carefully apparently, and it taught me a lesson.
DeleteThat was a very active morning at the feeder. I have a low tolerance for rascals.
ReplyDeleteIt certainly was Red. I certainly understand why they are not everyone's cup of tea :)
DeleteWhy, that little vandal! Bad boy! I love the mug shots!
ReplyDeleteBad boy indeed :) Thank you Jeanie!
DeleteThose pesky critters! Love the mug shots.
ReplyDeleteThanks Pamela, pesky but adorable at the same time :) Glad you loved those mug shots. I was happy with the way they turned out.
DeleteWhat an eventful Saturday morning at the bird feeder! It's heartwarming to see the furry rascals forgiven by all with the help of Froggy Fairy's magic. Even amidst a little mischief, there's always room for forgiveness and understanding. The visiting moth, though not quite welcomed inside, adds an amusing touch to the tale. Here's to more peaceful and harmonious mornings at the bird feeder! 🐦🌿
ReplyDeleteHello Melody, it certainly was and I couldn't agree with you more! :) Thank you for your lovely sentiments.
Deleteawwww too bad about the loss of froggies3, it was a cutie...it does not look like it can be repaired with glue!! those critters can certainly be little rascals but i guess everyone is hungry and needs to eat!! those mug shots are priceless!!
ReplyDeleteYou are right Debbie, impossible to repair but the Froggy3 Fairy worked her magic and there is now a Froggy3 out there waving and smiling again :) Exactly, not wise to get in between a raccoon and it's need to eat :)
DeleteGoodness gracious, Denise! The Froggy Fairy did her magic for sure. I love how all is forgiven. The naughty boys surely must take notice and behave in the future. Darling story line, my friend! I see a children's book ready for publishing.
ReplyDeleteShe surely did Martha Ellen. You are so kind! I never know which way my mind is going to run on a Saturday morning :)
DeleteDid you start blogging in 2016? POOR Froggies3. And my lovely squirrels were certainly not guilty this time. HOW did you get a new one so fast?? That moth is incredible looking, it even looks like it has horns! I love your Dove and Wren pics the best! You have made my day, and I have been scrolling over and over. Despite the triple deaths.
ReplyDeleteHi Ginny, I actually started blogging in April of 2008 but opened this blog in 2016 after one of my visitors was having a lot of difficulty opening and reading my blog. I didn't know a lot and the issue. It turned out the problem was with her settings and another blogger helped her out. I had never come across that before and did not know which end was up in the blogging world and wouldn't have been able to help her. So here we are, with my 2016 blog still going and all seems well. I will just keep on going until who knows :)
DeleteOh my, the few times we have had raccoons in the yard they sure tear up the bird feeders. I have video of a coon holding onto a swinging bird feeder before he dropped down
ReplyDeleteHi Yogi, and an 'oh dear' on that one. What a funny scene you've painted. Where there's a will, there's a way :)
DeletePoor froggies...🐸
ReplyDeleteYes, poor froggies :)
DeleteYour broken frogs are so sweet. So much character. Glad that the fairy put them back together.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Susan :) we are very thankful to the little Froggies 3 Fairy :)
DeletePoor froggies but so pleased the fairy put them back together :)
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Thank you Jan, we are very pleased too :) all the best!
DeleteWhen will you be coming out with your children's book?
ReplyDeleteMaybe one day my friend. Thank you for the sweet compliment :)
DeleteThe froggies live again! And all the critters lived happily ever after. Gotta love a happy ending!
ReplyDeleteYes, was so thankful. Most definitely, happy endings are the best :)
DeleteNaughty little raccoon rascals scampering around at night and causing mayhem. I'm glad froggies have returned after being knocked off their spot.
ReplyDeleteHi Beverley, yes naughty little rascals :) I have another story to tell sometime. The froggies are glad to be back too ;)
DeleteI’m glad the frogs are OK. Your post made me chuckle.
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda, me too and I'm glad this gave you a chuckle :)
DeleteOh no, your frogs broke! I'm glad they are as good as new now. That is one creepy looking moth. They are coming around here lately too, now that the weather is nice. Your bird photos are fantastic, especially those beautiful precious doves. This is such a delightful post at the bird feeder, Denise. You take the best bird photos.
ReplyDelete~Sheri
After a little bit of magic all's well that ends well :) Thank you Sheri, I really appreciate your sweet compliments. We are getting more doves around lately. I love them too!
