Gracey and Lazy Leopard Observe
Friends, today in between the thunder storms, Lazy Leopard and I were watching the backyard for clues. My parents just filled all the bird and squirrel feeders so we knew there would be plenty of activity.
The Cardinal
Lazy Leopard suggested that the Cardinal might be the culprit in the mystery of the missing peanut. He certainly has the capability to take a peanut from the windowsill. And even though he is red and not as aggressive he looks like he could be one of Bossy Backyard Blue Jay’s cousins.
The Grackle
I suggested this guy, the Common Grackle! I think he is the peanut pirate because not only is he big and boisterous, he bullies the other birds from the feeders and then eats almost all of the bird seed. I know he can’t help it but he might be tone deaf because when he sings, it doesn’t sound as nice as the other birds singing.
Lazy Leopard and Gracey Thinking
- There are so many suspects. We have the Squirrel, the Rabbit, the Cardinal, The Grackle, Neighbor Cat, another Blue Jay and Bossy Backyard Blue Jay. I asked Lazy Leopard to keep watching while I take some time to think. I might need your help to sort this out.
That Grackle looks like a shifty character and you should keep an eye on him, but I still think Deer #7 is the guilty party!
I have to agree on the Crackle idea. They bully our birds too and eat everything.
This is better than any daytime T.V.. Thanks for keeping us informed. Even my 3 year old granddaughter loves this.
So if I wanted to protect birds that are feeding from cats or other predators, what is the most efficient way to do this? Is it ok if I link back to the article?
That was really interesting! Mr Grackle seems very suspect.
We love the Lazy Leopard! mawhawhaw!
wow! lots of suspects! i thought it was the Squirrel but now that the Grackel is on the list too, i thinks it’s him! They are big bullies! He may have just wanted to start trouble between you & BBBJ!
It was the Grackle! We have them too & they eat everything in sight! You go Gracey!
