Damned Birds

[coltsbane]

I forgot one side-effect of it being Spring. Birds. Loud birds of a morning, like that bastard kookaburra and his new friend the grey dove who have decided that the tree outside my bedroom window is an awesome place to talk very, very loudly.

Some birds apparently want to nest in my airconditioner or something?! Weirdos.

Is it an old gum tree?

[coltsbane]

Har har! Nope, it's um. Something. I don't really know what it is. Kind of a big bush thing? I have no idea. But there aren't any gum trees around the house. They're all down in the park! Just bushes and flowers and palm trees up here. Mmm artificial gardens.

1. foam earplugs
2. a slingshot

Hello there anon.

I'm a terribly light sleeper, so I sleep every night with foam earplugs. The birds seem to know this and like to talk loud enough to even get through that!
