I bought a bird feeder. I hung it on my back porch and filled it with seed. What a beauty of

a bird feeder it is, as I filled it lovingly with seed.

Within a week we had hundreds of birds taking advantage of the

continuous flow of free and easily accessible food.


But then the birds started building nests in the boards

of the patio, above the table, and next to the barbecue.

Then came the poop. It was everywhere: on the patio tile,

the chairs, the table,in the pool. Everywhere!

Then some of the birds turned mean. They would

dive bomb me and try to peck me even though I had

fed them out of my own pocket.


And others birds were boisterous and loud. They

sat on the feeder and squawked and screamed at

all hours of the day and night and demanded that I fill it

when it got low on food.


After a while, I couldn't even sit on my own back porch

anymore. So I took down the bird feeder and in three days

the birds were gone. I cleaned up their mess and took down

the many nests they had built all over the patio.


Soon, the back yard was like it used to be.... quiet, serene

and no one demanding their rights to a free meal.


Our government gives out free food, subsidized housing,

free medical care, and free education and allows anyone

born here to be an automatic citizen.


Then the illegals came by the tens of thousands. Suddenly

our taxes went up to pay for free services; small apartments

are housing 5 families; you have to wait 6 hours to be seen

by an emergency room doctor;


Corn Flakes now come in a bilingual box; I have to

'press one' to hear my bank talk to me in English, and

people waving flags other than 'Old Glory' are

squawking and screaming in the streets, demanding

more rights and free liberties.


Just my opinion, but maybe it's time for the government

to take down the bird feeder.
