Birds

January 25, 2012

I will talk about the Birds again.    It is interesting to see so many birds in Southern Illinois now.    Have they pulled up all my wheat yet?      (Picture from Dan of geese on the Illinois farm 2003.)

I will tell you what they do around here about birds….   Where they have orchards, they have something that sounds like a shot gun go off at night so it will scare all the birds away.     

You may not have the problem in this story as you have no border patrol.   The Border Patrol truck went across the corner of the field and shots fired out.   They thought they were being fired on so they shot back.   Shots kept coming so  the border patrol called in reinforcements….   The reinforcements arrived and the gun fire continued.   The patrol ran out of ammunition about daylight.   The border patrol looked for the enemy and they found out that the apples were full of shot and not fit to eat anymore.     So be glad you don’t have border patrol patrolling your fields.      I think I told that before but it was worth telling again.    This was several years ago.
