The Bird Feeder

My friend emailed me the following article said to be written by a Londoner.



The Bird Feeder

I bought a bird feeder.. I hung it on my patio and filled it lovingly
with seed... It was indeed a beautiful bird feeder. 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 bird sh*t. It
was everywhere; on the patio tiles, 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. So 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 give out free food, subsidised
housing, free medical care, and free education and allows anyone born
here to be an automatic citizen. Then the illegals came by the millions.

Suddenly our taxes went up to pay for the free services; small flats
are housing 5 or more families; you have to wait 6 hours to be seen by a
doctor in an emergency surgery because it is filled with illegal non tax
payers; your child's year 12 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 'The
Union Jack' are squawking and screaming in the streets, demanding more rights
and free liberties.

Its just my opinion but maybe, just maybe, it's time for the government
to take down the damn bird feeder.
