Ogre
Ok, now I feel like a monster. I put up the new bird house. I then tore down the old one. It did look as if the blue birds were trying to nest there with some grasses and such inside it. But I tore it down. Then, just a few minutes after I went into the house, the birds showed up. They flitted and visited the posts where the torn down house had been. I could just hear their conversations in my head. "OMG honey, where is our house?" " Let me go first dear, I will see about it." He flitted around on the posts up and down looking at everything that looked like it might be a hole. Finally, flew to a tree. "I don't know dear, it just isn't there. I looked and looked!" She then flew to the posts, and flitted up and down, over to a tree back again, over to another post, back again, looking, looking for her home! "Oh I am so sad, I can't believe it is just gone!" she said. I felt so mean! Finally after about 20 minutes, I guess they decided, yes, indeed, our home is gone, gone forever and off they flew. I wonder if they will be back, if the new home just a few feet away will meet their standards or if the neighborhood seems too unpredictable to try a new house.
