As you saw in my prior post (Least Wanted List: Brown-headed Cowbirds), there are irritating birds — at least they are irritating to me. Sharing is not high on any bird’s list. We’ve seen little Napoleon (White-breasted Nuthatch) try his best to scare off both the bigger birds — and his own reflection in the camera. We’ve seen the Mourning Dove and Blue Jay disagree on whose feeder it is. The bird bath wasn’t big enough for the “Boys in Red“. When the lizard showed up at the nectar feeder, Ms. Hummingbird was quite distraught. Yep, we’ve seen a number of disputes since the dawn of Feathers and Fuzz.

I like harmony and am prone to attempt to exert my own will over the behaviors of God’s creation. As was true in “Human vs Flying Squirrel“, creation always wins — but I never, ever quit.  I do try to let go.  Really.  But, then … I have another idea to bring harmony to all of God’s creation.

In addition to taking on the Flying Squirrels, I continue to try to modify the behavior of those “Least Wanted Birds” — mostly these are birds who show up in flocks, frighten ALL the other birds away, and empty the feeder/s in short order.  In Part I of “Human vs Piggy Birds”, I share my past attempts at nuisance-bird control.  The idea for Part II dawned this past Christmas when I opened one of my gifts.  Nuisance-birds be warned.  This pilot is nearing takeoff!
