How about Goodbye?

Saturday...Saturday....the state of our window from the outside, as Woody persists in its male dominated attack upon our glass. A continued Saga from previous blog. To start....don't be confused about the bird your eye immediately is drawn to in this image. For that bird, the big one in the middle of window and dangling by a string is not the bird I am talking about. That bird is fake. Fake news.... That also happens to be stage 2 or preventative measures

Stage 1 is the packing material. Yesterday Deb had a marvelous idea as only Billy Crystal might be able to point out, that covering the window with packing material (stage 1) would be enough to persuade WOODY to move on. But stage 1 was a nice attempt, but futile in the end.

Thus stage 2....the giant hummingbird feeder dangling from a nail would compliment stage 1. Together they would work in close unison, or so went the plan.

It was real windy yesterday here and the fake bird was in constant disarray as it swayed back and forth across the window. In fact....something to note, the fake bird supplanted the real bird in the noise it made as the fake bird was banging against the window making the exact same noise we were trying to prevent with the real bird. So our efforts paid off yesterday only with identical noise. 

Last night, as we watched the Phillies whallop the Padres (did you get a chance to see the uniforms of the Padres? Oh my....yes, oh my. See below, as you can't miss it. 

Deb got quite tired of the thumping created by the fake bird so she decided to remove the fake bird from the arsenal of real bird protective measures, thus we were back to just stage 1 (see above in blog for a rehash of stages). All was fine....all worked but of course it was night and not much of a reflection in the window. 

This morning....Saturday, as the day was addressed earlier in the blog.....WOODY returned as only stage 1 protective devices were in place. It is beginning to shape up that with No Fake Bird = Real Bird. So up again went the fake hummingbird to thwart off the attacks. We just had breakfast and so far, no real bird. I am sure this is to be continued.....
