Bird, I mistyped. I should have said uncloven, gee whiz, they will revoke my Southern Baptist papers.

We get a few flower stalks too and sometimes let them grow to maturity. We also put out some of the seeds (or the GIANT SUNFLOWER SEEDS) around to provide natural looking feed.

I think they are exquisitely beautiful birds and as a pilot I admire their aerobatic prowess but... I just don't want the mud nests on my house. Worse yet is their droppings. It pains me to have to be mean to them. I hope they go elsewhere and nest successfully. I don't mind sharing the planet with them or even my yard but not my porches!
