Bird Feeder

[Big Slick]

I bought a bird feeder. I hung it on my back porch and filled it with seed.
 
Within a week we had hundreds of birds taking advantage of the continuous flow of free and easily accessible food. But then the birds  started building nests in the boards of the patio, above the table, and  next to the barbecue.
 
Then came the poop. It was everywhere: on the patio tile, the chairs, the table...everywhere. Then some of the birds turned mean: they  would dive bomb me and try to peck me even though I had fed them out of my own pocket. And other birds were boisterous and loud: they sat on the feeder and squawked and screamed at all hours of the day and night and demanded that I fill it when it got low on food.
 
After a while, I couldn't  even sit on my own back porch anymore. I took down the bird feeder and in three days the birds were gone. I cleaned up their mess and took down the many nests they had built all over the patio. Soon, the back yard was like it used to be...quiet, serene, and no one demanding their rights to a free meal.
 
Now let's see...our government gives out free food, subsidized housing, free medical care, free education, and allows anyone born here to be a automatic citizen. Then the illegals came by the tens of thousands.
 
Suddenly our taxes went up to pay for free services; small apartments are housing 5 families: you have to wait 6 hours to be seen by an emergency room doctor: your child's 2nd grade class is behind other schools because over half the class doesn't speak English: Corn Flakes now come in a bilingual box; I have to press "one" to hear my bank talk to me in English, and people waving flags other than "Old Glory" are squawking and screaming in the streets, demanding more rights and free liberties.
 
Maybe it's time for the government to take down the bird feeder.

Move away from the birds! I would give up on the ones that are feeding them becasue the way I see it they will never change. There will have to be a civil war before you will see anything dramatic happen.
