Ok, so yesterday i had a sick day off of work. i had my jammies on and took a cup of coffee out to sit with 'Bird and the pickle heads for a few minutes and enjoy the sunshine and the morning birds. walked down to their tajmahal and opened the gate to go into the pen. I did not make it two steps inside before 'Bird was flogging my ankles!!!!!! Mind you 'Bird does NOT hurt his momma!!! no way no how never. This is the same big guy that drinks beer and rides the lawn mower with me.
I immediatly picked him up like WTH???????? held him close and looked at him really hard. NOT gonna hurt my big guy. Would like to, but i know my 'Bird and that's not him.
I have heard that they dont like red. My flannel jammie pants are a GROSS red and green plaid. (comfy though). I sat down with them and got my moring chatter and pecks from the girls. 'Bird kept his distance and kept looking at me sideways. Now I was kinda getting worried. 'Bird and I are best friends! I rolled the legs of my pants up and went over to him. He calmed down. hmmmmm wondering if the red flannel did it?
Ok, here is where it gets good. I took them off and threw them down in a pile on the ground. ( I had shorts on anyway under them, so no biggy) 'Bird instantly attacked them!!!!! It was the funniest thing in chickendom that I have ever seen. He went balistic on them. wings a flapping, legs a flailing,etc. I was in absolute tears laughing so hard.
"bird does NOT like red flanel. Guess it's just not fashionable??????
I looked at all the caged animals in the barn...the cast-offs of human society. I saw in their eyes love and hope, fear and dread, sadness, and betrayal. And I was angry."God," I said, "this is terrible! Why don't you do something?"God was silent for a moment, and then He spoke softly, "I have done something," he replied. "I created you."

Yeah, at times, she is a bit OCD.
