Self-battered Bird
"It's estimated that more than 90 million birds are killed each year as a result of hitting windows. Stopping the collisions is a matter of changing the birds' perception of what they see in the window." -- From www.ehow.com
Our Bird keeps flying into a window. The window is our will, Dr. ER's and my own. We wonder what she sees in the reflection.
Bird just keeps daring us and defying us and sassing us. She's a good kid. But she can be so stubborn and blind to her own attitude and ingratitude sometimes it makes us crazy.
Sayin' your grateful ain't being grateful. Being grateful is showing respect, deference even, to those to whom you owe your income and well-being. Or are we silly to think that?
Anyway, the window is battered tonight, and Bird feathers are flyin' all over. We love our Bird dearly. But she sure makes it hard to like her sometimes, and tonight is one of those times.

Ha! I reckon I intereacted with Baby Bird like I did young reporters: stern, but with a smile and a hoo-ha, and a fit followed by abject apologies, and so on, and so on. For a specific example, go to my archives for September and find the post for Thursday, September 02, 2004. :-)
