What is it With Birds?

Hello most humans and many others,

I was just trying to figure out why Missy Linda and so many of you humans are so entertained by birds. This morning, Missy Linda was mesmerized by a downy woodpecker hopping up the metal pole of the bird feeder while he seems to be trying to determine what the hell the pole was made of. Woodpeckers always have trouble trying to eat from her bird feeder because they eat in a different way than other birds. Downy woodpeckers are much smaller than our usual woodpeckers that live here so they can eat the seeds in the feeder more easily than those huge woodpeckers. I think that they don't really like sunflower seeds so much though.

I have to admit that feeding birds is an inexpensive hobby compared to many of the things that you humans do. Also, I suppose that it helps the birds who are to lazy to find their own food. Every once in a while some bird not usually seen in this area will show up at the cafe, and Missy Linda goes bonkers. She tries to take pictures, and sometimes, she calls people. Sadly, not one of her pictures has ever turned out well. Poor Missy Linda.
