Little Bird

Warbled the demur Scottish lassie, once part of the late lamented Eurythmics. After jetting skywards into her own brief career, she gave us this petite feathered offering....

It is therefore with trills and chirps that this post is directed towards our ornithological friends, in particular the members of species Turdus Merula. (I kid you not)
The common or garden blackbird has developed a recent obsession with flying into our windows and knocking itself unconscious. One particular pane, near the sweet smelling herb garden, causes much confusion and pain. Once inert on the garden path it risks the very real threat of being discovered by each or all of the 2 small dogs and 2 large cats that we share our home with.. So far this particular variety has escaped being consumed, but it must surely only be a matter of thyme.

So listen up Turdus Merula, try to aim a meter higher and you will fly over the clear and present danger of the window next to the garage.

Please try to memorise this picture, or else the more bird brained of you will end up as carrion, not really a fate worth crowing about.
