Met a Bluebird Today...Not the Brightest One in the Tree, For Sure

[speckledhen]

Rescued a male bluebird from our wood stove this morning. Let it go. Fifteen minutes later, he was back in it.

I guess his Mrs. is telling him she likes that fancy silver thing on top of the house for her Home Sweet Home. Now, today's assignment: climb up there with some wire and wrap it so he can't do it again.

Well apparently he fears Mrs. Bluebird more than he fears you - - or a fiery death.

Good man.

LOL, gotta love those persistent birds! Woodstove as incubator.........might work!

We have bluebird boxes but one is occupied by a flying squirrel and her baby right now, so guess he was looking for other quarters for his bride.

I'm absolutely convinced that bluebirds are the stupidest birds on this earth. We put little birdhouses up for them all over the place yet they insist on building nests where the cats can get them. Anytime I find a cat with a bird in it's mouth or a present brought to me by a cat, it's a bluebird.

Ah, but you know the universal truth- You don't have to be smart if you're beautiful.

I have a bird trying to build a nest in my grill! So I have to keep the lid up, so it isn't so private!

What a silly bird! Like the moth to a flame, huh? Good luck!
