A list of asshole animals
May. 10th, 2018 08:04 pmThis is the first time in years that I've had access to my own dirt. I'm renting, but I'm in a divided house that has an actual yard and actual porches - and not in a third-floor apartment. This is wonderful, but there are Issues:
1. The chipmunk who keeps digging into the potted plants. The solutions I'm finding online, such as sprinkling used cat litter into the pots, are... less than ideal. What if I just tie up the actual CAT next to the plants? Pls don't kill my begonias, chipmunk.
2. The blue jay who is stealing the plant tags from the garden. What the fuck, man? I WATCHED YOU DO IT. I KNOW IT WAS YOU. I WAS RIGHT THERE.
3. The sparrows that live in the bushes. I'm trying to attract songbirds this year. I don't mind these drab little shits, but their preferred method of feeding is to toss all of the seed on the ground and pick out their favorite. I changed the feeder, which helps a little - but the new feeder isn't as attractive to the other birds.
Anyway, being domestic is fun.
