Going to Eat Some Crow

Herds and herds of nasty birds
Fly about my garden
They eat and eat and then they turd
And never ask my pardon

Black birds starlings and crows
Pick about my beddings
Black birds strut and crows crow and the
Starlings are not darlings

I worked hard, put in special toil
Special food special good
Even worms to loosen the soil
Did as much as I could

But herds of nasty birds in spoil
Still bend my flower stems
And pull the worms out of the soil
And promptly swallow them

Someday I’ll take a sample mob
And cook a nasty bird kebab

Eeeewww...I too dislike crows and starlings. They rob the nests of smaller birds - including the eggs and sometimes the featherless babies!!!
But, heavens! Don't eat one...lol....you never know what they might be carrying!
Thanks for the smiles this morning Seymour.
hugs, Chris

Oh Sy!  I hope you never invite me to dinner
when you are serving up nasty bird kebabs!
I know what you mean though as I have to chase them
out of my sparrow bird houses.
As my sister says they do grab even the baby birds still in the nest!
Have a wonderful day!

You have to soak them in salt water for a few hours, then BBQ 'em.

Good afternoon, T-Man!

You give a whole new meaning to the saying, "Eating crow"! Flirty

Perhaps a scarecrow would be a less drastic way to scare the crows! Caw Caw ~ I mean "Ha Ha".

Sy I'm sorry to hear of your problems with these nuisance birds. They sound like biker birds!!  Have you tried the farmers trick...a bird-away..hang a dead bird in your yard?  They say it works.  

believe in what your heart feels...

Funny stuff, made me laugh out loud!  I'm a plant lover myself, but the cold climate here dictates that my growth must occur indoors, no such nuisance for me... hope you get your BBQ!!!
