a-z Monday: Nutty Nature

Nature can be Nutty

Hey little birdie, wanna go for a ride?

"No, I want that fellow on the other side!"
Just hold on tight while I hit the gas

"But I just want to meet that bird behind the glass!"

Silly little titmouse, can't you see?

"Yeah, I really know, that bird is ME."

Oh Ben this is great!
I've seen a couple other people post about birds on their side mirrors, but of course they lacked your originality!
(I'm going to have to pull my car out of the garage. ha.)

Jen:
There is a little danger...yes, I speak of the dreaded bird p--p!

How cute is that? I love watching birds, and I'd love a crazy bird to sit on my side mirror!

Perhaps Mr. Titmouse is just a tad narcissistic. He was checking his "do" in the mirror, making sure that mohawk was straight!

That is so funny. I love him...so cute. You were lucky to get those shots. :)

Kings Canyon! I've been there but forgot that one!

Great X-Game bird! N is for No way should he do that!

Pigeon said...

He's really checking himself out in that last picture. LOL

Thanks, Ben, enquiring minds wanted to know. So a titmouse has no relation at all to another automotive animal acoutrement that I saw on a recent Tyra Banks Show. It was called the Tiddy Bear - a stuffed animal that a woman placed against her seat belt to prevent her protruding endowment from rubbing against the belt. Now I know that the titmouse on your car's mirror bore no relation to the bear on the seat belt.

How funny! Made me remember when I was a kid... My Dad had geese and one goose feel in love with his image in the chrome bumper of our car. That goose would stand there ALL day long and stare at his image... this went on for weeks.

I love your N post. We have a parrot, Captain Morgan, who loves to talk to himself in the mirror. Your posts are such a joy to read!

Loved your sports comment on my blog. I have hope yet for the Browns!
