I gave the birds an afternoon snack because they'd gathered under the pergola and I could no longer see the ground for birds... ha ha
The old man bird felt that his safety was in jeopardy, so he sought shelter from the seething mass...
He came and stood between my feet... ha ha.
"Don't think this means I like you, I just don't want to be squashed by them..."... ha ha.
The hungry horde were both hungry, and a horde this afternoon...
All I have to do now is convince them that Summer Time, daylight saving, means the clocks go Forward one hour...
What was 4, in the Winter, becomes 5, now... and not What was 4 in the Winter becomes 3, now... ha ha...
A week ago I would have said, going on past experience, that about now the old man bird would be acknowledging me, but would still be a little shy.
I think his taking shelter between my feet was more a matter of necessity than an expression of his absolute trust and faith in me, ha ha....
I'll give it another half hour or so and then I'll go out and see if he scowls at me and shuffles away...
If he does, I'll know where I stand with him, so to speak, ha ha...
🙂
