I feed my local murder of crows peanuts almost every day. Those ungrateful fuckers couldn’t give two shits about me. For a while I thought they were bringing me little gifts of seeds and berries as a thank you, but then I realized they were just puking that stuff up so they could fit in more peanuts.
This helps when trying to deal with the fact that my job feels inherently worthless.
I put a bird feeder up because birds eat insects that destroy some plants. It was a very successful squirrel feeder.
Same. But over time I grew to love that fat greedy bastard
I wish I could feel the same way. I love animals but as I get older squirrels are animals I like less over time more than any other animals.
Me as a toddler: “Squirrels are so cute!”
Me as an adult: “Why is the squirrel eating wires?”
If you live somewhere where they can easily access your parked cars, attics, roofs, boats etc. Then they can absolutely be a problem. In those cases steps must be taken to protect your property from invasive squirrels. I can see why sone would feel this way
My great hope is that this is how my wife feels about me.
Chunky is cuter than not chunky.
I actually snorted laughed when I read this.
I don’t think this counts as boomer humor because you’re not joking your wife. Self depreciating humor is my jam. Ignore me. I think too much.
We are resetting up our bird feeder to get rid of some insects that have sprung up in the yard. We used to have wolf spirders and a toad that took care of them, but the wet weather and now the heat have killed them off. So hopefully the birds will return and take care of the problem.
