Default The Birds - I was Wrong

Now in the freezer? ;-)

Nope. Most days, we have up to ten in the garden, most of them
have been coming since they were tiny chicks so we haven't the heart to
kill them.


Awww. (obv, they wouldn't be in the freezer anyhow, they'd be hanging in a
shed. But comedy effect overtook me)

The one we ate the other week had died in mysterious circumstances.
J thinks it committed suicide by flying into the window. It was found by
our dog who is saying nuffin until her lawyer gets here.


I'd be very nervous of eating something if I didn't know why it had died!

Speaking of flying into things ... saw a bird hit a van on the M25 yesterday
at rather high speed (well, as high as the M25 gets at that time of the
week) - I always thought the huge cloud of feathers only happened in
cartoons!
