I haven't even glimpsed a bluebird for months.<BR/>But I'm happy for you and your new little family.<BR/>And I agree any further dead bird exchanges will have to take place in the parking lot.

Yes, the killing bothers me very much but I love the bluebirds...Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02040099513110890878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18239868.post-5251148505731891632007-04-13T17:53:00.000-04:002007-04-13T17:53:00.000-04:00I missed her face, but after you left, Sue asked w...I missed her face, but after you left, Sue asked what that transaction was all about. When I told her that I was giving you dead house sparrows to feed the hawks, she said, "You KILLED them?" I explained how destructive they are, how they destroy bluebird eggs and even kill adult birds, she said, "Well, I hate them too, but I don't think I could kill them."<BR/><BR/>Funny. None of them think twice about me having to euthanize dogs and cats, but the dead HOSP freaked them out. I think we will have to do any future sparrow deals in secret - my soft-hearted staff can't take it.<BR/><BR/>~Kathi<BR/><BR/>PS: I know you hate it when I brag, but I have 4 baby bluebirds and 1 egg still to hatch as of this evening.

It was bright red and fresh, so at first I thought she had been injured. And yes, Lucy rocks.<BR/><BR/>Lynne:<BR/>Rollssssss......................<BR/>:)<BR/><BR/>Mary:<BR/>Oh, come on. Wouldn't a dead animal exchange make the day more interesting?<BR/>;)<BR/><BR/>Jayne:<BR/>I have the best job in the whole world. Audiences can see how jazzed I am to be presenting such awesome birds. And I think you are right, that it is a calling.
