This made me chuckle. Reminded me of some birds that daily came to visit and sleep in my courtyard. They were beautiful. I loved to see them. But... yes they made a mess. Much of life - a trade.
Thanks for your appreciation Myrna

Bwahahaha! You often find a way to make me think of home. When I was growing up, the chickens (and other birds) around the house were just as carefree when it come to their expelling. The tone of your haiku made me think of my grandma's expression whenever this happened (and it happened a lot).
We'd all love birds a lot more if they didn't leave so many calling cards! This made me smile, but I feel your pain!

You just have to weigh up the pros and cons. I quite liked the birds gathering around our garden door as they knew it was safe there (we didn't have a cat) and could bathe in the water feature to both their and our delight.
😊luv them though. Thanks for dropping by Robin

You, too?? I thought I was the only one that birds abuse (including on top of my head!) This one made me smile, Gillena. Thank you.

Get you an owl and sit it by where birds roost.
Was a fun read, Gillena.

At least they were only small birds, Gillena - every time I park at the local library or the supermarket, seagulls leave a mess on my car!

Ha ha, yes, they would be pretty unteachable. (Not so funny having to keep cleaning up the mess, though.)

LOL, if only we could train them to go in certain spots or on certain politician's heads.
If only we could teach birds the new trick of taking their mess elsewhere and just visit us when they can be tidy. :)
