Call Me Cinderella or Just Plain Stupid

It all started when we had a baby bird in our bushes that was pushed out of his next a bit too early. The mom of the bird would 'watch over' the bird and protect him. Being the kind and caring person that I am (:-) ) I would throw some grapes to the mommy bird so that she could chew them up and spit them in the babys mouth. Unfortunately a few days later the baby bird passed on into birdy Heavan.

A few weeks later- 2 more little birds showed up that could not fly very well, so once again I took on the job of helping to feed them.

To add, I think that all of Texas is overpopulated with bunny rabbits. They can be annoying when they eat your plants and leave small poopy trails, but for the most part they are really cute and fun to watch- especially the babys. It all started when we had a bunny that kept coming into our backyard- I think he liked our yard because we have nice bushes that shade well.

One day I had some old lettuce- not too old, but good enough for a bunny- so I threw some towards the bunny. The little bunny came up to the lettuce and gobbled it up as the girls watched happily. As the days went by and as the bunny visited us - practically every day and night- we would feed him grapes and lettuce.

I started to feel like Cinderella when this bunny continued to visit but would also come really close to the family-- like he was one of us! I also started to feel like Cinderella when these same 3 birds (2 kids and their mom) would sit on the fence post (leaving a nice trail of bird poo) and chirp and chirp and chirp until I walked outside and threw grapes at each of them!

Today is 'key' that I am possibly Cinderella or just plain stupid!!!!-- I hear the birds chirping- I guess I blocked them out- like I do my own kids---my husband said 'Um your bird friend is in the window sill looking at Gia!' Sure enough that darn bird was standing w his face up against the window looking straight at Gia as she looked out. Coincidence- I think NOT!!! A little while later the same bird- or another- they do look alike-- was on our patio table (which is up against our window) was chirping as he was looking into our house!

Cinderella or Just Plain Stupid!?!?!? Gosh- I hope I don't turn into the Crazy Bird Lady- like Heidi Fleiss!
