Default Boots and garden safety

You leave your boots outside and stand them up to reduce the chance of a

Except when they become a display platform for small birds who sit on
the edge. Apparently they face outwards to attract their mate, shoo off
their rival etc and their squitter therefore points inside. So guess
where they squit. Ain't nature grand.
