My Mom goes to great lengths to entertain her grandchildren. When we arrived at their house for Thanksgiving, this is what the boys had to play with for the week or so we were there. It is amazing what she comes up with. The best part about this fun thing - she bought it at a garage sale for $6.00. Even more awesome, huh?!! Enjoy!

For the Birds
One morning I heard a large thump in the kitchen. Scared me to death. Come to find out, here was a robin flying from the gazebo frame and landing on to the screen in the window and pecking at it. He never flew away just back-and-forth. He continued this until late morning. I did several things to try to scare him away. I banged on the window and even put a piece of aluminum foil in the window thinking that he'd see his shadow and stop. None of it worked.
The next morning, he was back. And the next morning and the next. This continued all week long. On the weekend, Dale removed the screen. The next morning, he was landing in the lilac bush nearest the window and still trying to fly in to it. He kept his up about 3 days until, I guess, he realized he wasn't getting anywhere and finally quit.
We're still baffled at what in the world he was doing. It was such a strange thing that I had to share. Have you ever had any crazy bird experience?
