Feed the Birds

I'm like the lady from Mary Poppins. My dad and I try to eat our lunch outside as much as possible and I love it when we do because I like to be outside and it usually is like 10 degrees warmer than in the building so I can get the chance to warm up. So we eat. I eat my sandwhich first and I don't like crust so once I am done with my crust I break it into smaller pieces and throw it out in front (or behind) of me depending on where I think the birds are. I feed the birds. It is so much fun to watch them. Most of the time, the first time that I throw the bread out there are no birds around but give them 3 seconds to come swooping down and start to pick at the bread crust. It's amazing that they can see that small piece of bread be thrown onto the ground but they do. Also, I don't know how but every other bird seems to know that there is a bird eating food so they come over too. Which is good, because I don't throw it all out at once. I try to share the bread equally and make sure that each bird that comes get his own piece! haha.

It was so cute though today, I have been doing this pretty much everytime my dad and I sit outside, and I had just finished my lunch when this bird landed right in front us. It's like he knew that it came from me. Birds have such a good memory. My dad tried to scare him away but he wouldn't budge. He then began to chirp as to say, "give me some food woman, I know you have it." It was adorable. I felt bad but that bird will just have to wait another day or just wait until the next individual comes to feed it. Although, I'm not sure that too many grown ups feed birds on their lunch break.

On a different note, 76 days until I head back to school! seems so far away!
peace.
