When the cat is away...

The birds will poop all over the patio. Ugh. Please tell me that my climbing hydrangea will withstand this onslaught...

Ps, before I thought to take a picture, I had already hosed down the plant. Imagine this multiplied by about 5.

Also, it was all over my patio furniture, patio and fountain. Ugh.

The birdhouse has been populated since early April. The droppings have never been this bad. Not even all of last summer. Bird stomach flu? Bad bird takeout? Just kidding. Terrible jokes.

RE: When the cat is away...

i doubt it will do any damage ...

perhaps its time to move the bird house.. after the brood is gone ... its a rather simple solution ....

it simply means mom and dad are cleaning out after the babes ...

what kind of birds are they ???

if you are using anything other than a real camera... hold it upright when you take the pix.. or so i am told ...

Hi, Ken. Thanks. It was upright. But you (and others) seem to frequently have problems with my photos being right side up. No idea why.

They are sort if non-description black birds. I haven't been able to id them yet. Last year we had both grackles and blue birds in there and neither made such a mess.
