on a scale

Birds Pictures, Images and Photos




I have a budding scientist in the house.



Who needs some help.



He's creating a poll regarding birds. And their popularity among humans.



So on a scale of 1 - 5 (1 being HATE them - 5 being LOVE them) how do you feel about birds?



Please leave a comment with your number so he can continue his tally!

lets see...hmmm....

don't like when they chirp and wake me up in the morning...it's a choir in my backyard

don't like when they build nests in my gutter...

if they eat the worms...that's good... 1 for worms...

I will give birds a 2.5...

I am about a 2. I can appreciate pretty bird, like cardinals and robins. But for the most part, birds scare me. If I see a bunch of birds outside visions of Alfred Hitchcock start dancing in my head. Pigeons are nasty and kind of scary too. My uncle also used to have a mean parrot that would walk around biting people (!) and that has obviously scarred me for life. It's probably best not to share all of these details lest I instill a similar bird phobia. :)

I say 3. I like most birds. The woodpeckers that eat my trees looking for bugs drive me crazy though.

i would say a 3. i'm not really scared of them, but there is this one woodpecker that just goes to town early in the morning and it drives me nuts.

kylie would probably give them a 3 as well. she loves to watch them eat from the bird feeder. she doesn't understand why they run and then fly away when she tries to get close to them...she then puts her hands up, as if to say "where'd they go?"

I feed them four different foods in five feeders. There is a birdbath next to my computer outside the sunroom for my cat's and my enjoyment. I watch them at home and in the woods, or anyplace else I find myself, the beach being the best. I maintain a record of what I've seen. I aspire to identify them just by sound alone.

I have books, books, books and stacks of great photographs I have taken of birds.

So, Toby, I guess I'm an enthusist and a 5+++.

Check this out. Its my favorite place for birding.

I would give birds a 2. I have a woodpecker that has made a nice hole in my porch outside. There are also a bunch of birds that sit on all the rocks around my pool and poop on them. Yuck!

Birds..... hmmmmmm I'll give them them a 1. I know they do serve a purpose by eating insects but thats about all ill give them.. And because they eat insects, which I rate at a -1, that means they have to poop. On newly washed cars....... which is why I give them only a 2

I would say I am a 2.5... I like to look at them in theory, but don't like when they wake kids up chirping, don't like bird poop on stuff, and really don't like when they build nests in our garage and dive bomb us when we try to get in and out of our van. :)

Oh, and we recently had a crazy hawk crash through the front of our van when we were driving and the dumb thing did more damage than the deer we hit last year...

Meh....I'd give them a 2. Cardinals and blue jays are pretty but birds don't really do all that much to get really high marks from me. I'd give them a 3, except the one thing they DO do is "doodoo" on my car.

I cried when I got the news

I felt like such a heel not going with Trevy for his first post hemi EEG. Yeeeeeees...Jonathan went with him. Yeeeeeees...he's just as good as me. But still! He's my baby! I was instead sitting on floor 6 east waiting for Neurology to get their boots here and help me sort out this medicine mess! Seriously it's like a bad joke...how many Neurologists does it take to write a bloody script? And fax prior authorizations? Cause Trevy's been back for hours now. And I'm STILL waiting! Anyway... Jonathan had just stepped out to meet the pizza delivery guy when Dr. EEG made his rounds. Of course I asked immediately if he had read the EEG. Of course he had. That's why he was there afterall. And I cried when he told me... that for the first time in almost two years. For the first time since this whole crazy mess began. my baby's EEG is completely normal! Side Note: It's super fun to sob in front of Japanese men and watch them squirm When I kept repeati...

I sure hope...

they grow back curly! Saw the "unknown" flashing on the face of my cell phone and knew who it was. Who it had to be. Dr. Fellow. My eyes met Grams' and I nodded. Grams has a pool, see. For super hot days like today. We're also having a septic installed. Which meant no water or facilities at my place. But those weren't really the reasons I was there. Close to mom. The purple ringing thing in my hand was. Only I wasn't prepared for it to be ringing SO darn soon. Shortly after lunch instead of dinner! I swallowed. Took a deep breath. And clicked connect. Dr. Fellow has a very nice phone tone. Clear. Hint of compassion. If only a stitch of humor were added...it'd be heavenly. But there was no humor. Just business. He's very direct. I'm learning that about him. Which explains his short hello. Followed by immediately pushing into the news. Being that it was a unanimous consensus. The entire surgical committee feels Trevor is a good candidate. And then p...

it's like being asked to the prom...

only MUCH MUCH bigger! I had noticed (yes...I stalk my site meter!) that a government ISP had logged onto Trevor's blog. Whoever it was had spent a good deal of time hanging out too. Followed a few minutes later by a government ISP...hailing from Washington. As in DC! My eyebrow raised. It was just kinda odd. Note-able odd. You know? Anyway...later that day (last week) I was folding laundry & thinking my crazy insane thoughts. Along these lines... I hope I'm not saying anything I shouldn't! Maybe I made somebody mad? Wait a minute! I live in America! I'm allowed to say anything I want! Aren't I???? A shout from the other room interrupted my thoughts before I had a chance to further mull. It was Jonathan. I had just received an email. **Side note...he's always doing that! Reading my emails! Sheesh!*** The said email was from a US Senator's aide! Asking if he could speak with me. Little ole' hardly has time to splash some make-up on ...
