I immediatley IM'd my friend the link and started chatting. I laughed inside, because after all these were quite amusing. However I began to think of the birds setting up shop. My my friend and I started going back and forth. Seriously I said, how embarrassing would that be for the bird. It would really suck for the poor illiterate create that decided to make one of those houses its home. I mean, perhaps one said insane asylum across the front. All of asudden the bird would notice strange looks, it would call out to a nearby squirrel "Why aren't you speaking to me anymore!?" The poor bird wouldn't even know what had happened. I was holding back laughter at my office desk as we typed back and forth.
Suddenly a genius idea came to me. I could start marketing birdhouses that said things, not those cutsie nice things, but cruel things. Perhaps one bird house would say "A Complete Idiot Lives Here". You'd nail that up in your yard and within minutes some bird would be poking it's head in and out. At this point tears were streaming down my face and I was shaking. I think nearby coworkers were getting creeped out. We came up with many ideas, "This Bird Is A Free Loader", "Watch Your Children Around This Bird", "This Bird Can't Count", the list went on and on! We were both IMing at work of course and both holding back the laughter. It's so funny because our relationships with birds are so unqiue. No one would ever riducule their cats or dogs, but neighborhood birds, why not?
