Take Down the Bird Feeder?

I bought a bird feeder. I hung it on my back porch and
filled it 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…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.

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.
