WANTED

For the robbery of The Backyard Bird Feeder


If the perpetrator of this high crime is not caught or does not voluntarily come forward in due time, the local bird community will launch a boycott to shed light on the injustice of a outrageously long standing tradition of ignoring rodent thieves simply on the basis that some might deem their outward appearances to be ‘cute’.

Representatives from the local bird community spoke with their sheriff in town, who goes by the name of ‘Owl’ and protested:

“We think that it is definitely not okay to let some animals possessing fluffy tails and big eyes get off entirely without punishment while others of a more round and feathery shape have to make do with the leftover scraps. Winter is hard upon us and everyone should have an equal chance at consuming food. After all, no-one deserves exclusive access to the entire bounty that resides in The Backyard Bird Feeder, and that includes, no intimidating eye contact, tail twitches, or beady eye stare downs! We have had enough!”

Another bird flew in on the impromptu congregation and introduced himself as Mr. Chick A. Dee, who tipped his black top hat before boldly adding,

“If our demands are not met within one week, our protest will result in a backyard deck completely devoid of feathered life for many years to come, or perhaps, even forever. Despite how many times some of us might like to show off how many feathers they have stored on their plumage,” a pointed glance to a nearby robin, “we can’t survive on body heat alone. We need sustenance, and we need it now!”

The robin in question puffed out his red chest even further and looked away from his accuser in barely stifled indignation.

A finch named Mr. Gold hopped up beside the ruffled robin and chirped,

“It is high time for someone to take care of these ruffians, I dare say their becoming quite a nuisance in my day to day routine! One minute the bird feeder is full, the next, there is nothing but empty seed shells on the floor and the empty metal frame laying broken on the ground. Why they are so intent in eating seeds is beyond me, but at least save some for us!”

And so the bird council split up, each with their own ramblings of horror filled seed stories, taking their individual, respective paths to their nests and settling down for a long wait for the perpetrator to be turned in.

Reward: The heartfelt gratitude and dear thanks from all birds who use backyard bird feeders

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
