My Songbirds and Squirrels

The songbirds are plentiful where I live in the middle of oaks I had four birdfeeders, but white tail deer slammed into them Until they broke into bits, for they were plastic and did not survive As they were being deer-bashed against the trunk of these oaks. To discourage the deer, I bought new metal bird feeders. It brings in up to eight cardinals, and a blue jay daily. Wrens, robins, sparrows, and wood peckers arrive before nine. Rat-a-tat sound on my oak bark; I enjoy watching their heads bob. My forest is full of tweets, peeps, whistles, coos, and caws There is a huge the influx of crows, which I also welcome Playful squirrels are fun to watch, but their fingers are too deft Daily they unscrew the tops of my bird feeders, laughing at me. Allowing all of the bird feed to land on the ground, in a clump. Bottoms of feeders roll into driveway, so I have to drive around them. A plethora of activity, a menagerie of lively animals including rabbits. Sassy squirrels chastise me when I come out; thinking it is their yard.
