Birdchick Blog: Robins Wearing Out Their Welcom

Wednesday, January 07, 2009

Those winter robins I blogged about the other day are quickly wearing out their welcome.

Finding your car covered in ice and frozen winter berry bird poop is an unwelcome surprise on a winter morning. Move along, birds, move along.

I hear ya about the robins...We were staying in NC in our Motorhome at my sisters...
There were huge flocks of Robins and Waxwings all over the Hollys...
And there was tons of purple poops all over our Motorhome! Thats a much much bigger surface to clean than a car...
thank goodness my husband wont let me go on the roof...he did all the cleaning...what a mess.
next time we will get a few tarps and put them on the roof.; 1/07/2009 2:14 PM

Dork robins!; 1/07/2009 2:22 PM

Imagine, expecting me to come out in my jammies before it is even light out! Before I've even had my coffee! "Mealworms!" They say, "mealworms! NOW!"; 1/07/2009 2:29 PM

spacedlaw said...: Mind you they look pretty miffed too. Probably wonder why they could not have been called Tropical Weather Robins and gorging themselves on banana instead.; 1/08/2009 1:42 AM
