When I was stationed near Osnabruck in northern Germany in the

there were a couple of roads near us where the cherries were
there
and everyone helped themselves to them. We first discovered them
when we came round a bend in the road, and several cars were
parked
under the trees with people standing on the car roofs picking
the
cherries. We joined them, natch. I almost felt sorry for the
people
with the newish car who didn't want to spoil it by standing on
the
roof.


Almost :-))

So what's wrong with German blackbirds, then?

Errr, nothing as far as I know.

So why don't they eat all the cherries before people can get their
hands on them? That's what upstanding British birds (cue patriotic
music) do.
