Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

This is why I won’t get any peaches this year. They aren’t ripe yet you *****er!!

Those you can kill legally. Just saying.

Ok that’s it not talking to you anymore! Hahaha

Very convenient! And a great idea! Not sure I could do that here I have a raised bungalow and brick siding, would be hard to put an access hatch in the wall. But very convenient!!

Tax
More from last evening….

My Dad and I installed one of those back in 1984. It is amazing. We made like a big coal bin in the basement and just chicks it in through the door. Saved so much time and mess. Glad to see you have one!

I think we may owe Woodstove taxes

Lady F has spidery toes! Can she walk on lily pads I wonder ?!

The thing I don't get about killing these things is why that would help? There are plenty more in the vicinity and they will just move in to replace the one I get rid of.
I did trap and kill a number a few years ago and it took less than 24 hours for new ones to replace them.

So no killing, got it. How about one of those squirrel things for your trees? You know the reverse cone so they can't climb them and steal the peaches.

7:30pm - Diana has her spot, but Bernie has taken Maggie’s spot. Looks peaceful enough.

8:00pm - perhaps not totally surprisingly, Maggie has her spot back.

And in between -

I think that would be good - but I will have to make it because the ones you see for sale are only big enough to go around a pole that supports a bird feeder.
I haven’t seen one for trees.
I have to figure how to fix it to the trunk without damaging the tree. I could probably make it out of a roll of aluminum flashing - I have some in the barn I think.

Hang it from a couple of limbs with some rope or twine.
