I bought a bird feeder. I hung it on my back porch and
filled it with seed. What a beauty of a bird feeder it is,
as I filled it lovingly with seed. Within a week we had
hundreds of birds taking advantage of the continuous flow
of free and easily accessible food.
But then the birds started building nests in the boards of
the patio, above the table, and next to the barbecue.
Then came the poop. It was everywhere: on the patio tile,
the chairs, the table everywhere!
Then some of the birds turned mean. They would dive bomb
me and try to peck me even though I had fed them out of my
own pocket.
And others birds were boisterous and loud. They sat on the
feeder and squawked and screamed at all hours of the day
and night and demanded that I fill it when it got low on
food.
After a while, I couldn't even sit on my own back porch
anymore. So I took down the bird feeder and in three days
the birds were gone. I cleaned up their mess and took down
the many nests they had built all over the patio.
Soon, the back yard was like it used to be.... quiet,
serene and no one demanding their rights to a free meal.
Now let's see. Our government gives out free food,
subsidized housing, free medical care, and free education
and allows anyone born here to be an automatic citizen.
Then the illegals came by the tens of thousands. Suddenly
our taxes went up to pay for free services; small
apartments are housing 5 families; you have to wait 6
hours to be seen by an emergency room doctor; your child's
2nd grade class is behind other schools because over half
the class doesn't speak English.
Corn Flakes now come in a bilingual box; I have to 'press
one' to hear my bank talk to me in English, and people
waving flags other than 'Old Glory' are squawking and
screaming in the streets, demanding more rights and free
liberties.
Just my opinion, but maybe it's time for the government to
take down the bird feeder.
