The other day I went to the doctor to find out why my asthma was getting worse and he told me, "Stay away from all birds."
This is a funny one I think. Stay away from all birds? Right, like I have any control over where birds go. Birds are everywhere. In fact, I never noticed before just how many birds there are in the world until the doctor told me to stay away from them. Now I see birds everywhere. Birds are thriving this spring. The magpies are bigger and fatter, and more numerous. Eagles and hawks buzz my house. Owls hoot from the pine trees outside my window. And numerous smaller birds fight over who gets the best "seat" on the bushes next to my kitchen.
Birds are all getting bolder these days too. They fly overhead. They poop on the porch.They pick in the grass. And do other stuff there too. Sometimes they even eat my cat's food, right out of his bowl! They build their nests in my gutters and they roost in my shop. The birds are picking on me now!
As I write this I look out my window and see robins hopping all over the place. Birds even dive bomb right into the windows of my house, trying to get at me I suppose. I told my wife, "How in the Hell can you stay away from birds? Why they even have birds in Paradise."
OK, such is the life of an asthmatic. Cheers!
