So I woke up this morning to–you guessed it–a bird and a window and a very short fuse about the entire subject.
Today, I decided, was the day I get something done.
Several people have told me that putting a picture of a person or an animal in the window might help, so I ripped off a cover of a FITNESS magazine I had lying around the house…
And this worked for about an hour, but sadly, my bird eventually decided that having Valerie Bertinilli and me in the same house was so exciting he was just going to fly harder!
Sigh.
So then I started googling and learned that maybe he isn’t obsessed with me (and maybe not even Valerie, despite her recent 40 pound weight loss and new bikini-friendly abs!) Instead, he may be obsessed with…himself. Or, rather, the bird that looks exactly like him that he thinks lives in my window.
So I started tearing up grocery bags and taping them to the inside of the window in hopes of doing away with the glare.
And this worked until he evidently figured out that that bird that looks exactly like him is STILL in the window despite the new brown background.
This left me only one choice, I’m afraid. I had to call out the big guns, the serious weapons…the farm girl’s tool of last resort:
Duct tape.
Yep, I spent the morning trying to duct tape a trash sack over the window in question. It probably won’t last through a big rain, but it’s staying up there for now and so far the bird appears to be taking a break from stalking…himself.
Fingers crossed!
