Oh Little Blackbird...

After I was woken up by our little blackbird once again last week, I vowed to install the anti-pigeon stakes to keep it away. But for some reason, I postponed the inevitable (I think it was because I couldn't find the double stick tape). Well, after this morning when I had to slam a magazine down on the bathroom windowsill at 5 a.m. to shoo it away, I said tonight was the night. It was. But now Chris and I are worried the bird stakes will spear the poor little thing when it tries to land to chirp it's morning song. Because as I asked Chris, "How does it know not to land? Does it have radar?" He quickly replied, "Bats only have radar. Not birds." If that's the case, I sure hope I don't wake up in the morning to find our little blackbird impaled on the barbaric devise. That would be sad. But at least I'll be well rested.
