Backyard Panic Ensues
In happier times….
******
It was noticed quite easy this morning there was a crisis in the back garden of garden writer Doug Green. Outraged birds from near and nearer clicked and twittered, buzzing with indignation at Doug while he was making his morning notes.
Green tried to explain to these very unhappy birds that this simply wasn’t his department but the hovering hordes weren’t having any of it.
In a statement to this reporter, Green said the birds were clearly irate and on the edge of losing control of their tail feathers. The outraged chirping in the background backed this up and Green could obviously be concerned for his very safety out there.
Green went on to explain he made a mad dash from his back porch to the feeder, grabbed it in front of the multitudes and ran for his life back to the house one step ahead of those sharp beaked reminders being aimed at more tender southerly parts of his anatomy.
Giving the feeder to the appropriate person in the house Green was heard to muter about being yelled at by a thimble-sized, pea-brain (a comment surely out of character and one that will indeed return to haunt him in future backyard dealings).
Follow up calls to Green have gone unanswered and unreturned but this intrepid reporter will keep you up to date on developments in this story.
