I’ve been told by some of the other birds that aren’t quite as mean as the rest that soon I’ll be able to go up to the feeder and get some of that red stuff everybody talks about. The birds that go up there now are really, really, mean and will fly into you and whack you hard with their beaks and push you so that you fly into the wall. Even if your mom comes to help you they’ll still shove you and even start shoving her too. I don’t like that. When I’m big and go by the feeder I’m going to let all the other birds come too especially if they’re smaller. Except for my brother maybe, he tried to shove me out of the nest and whenever mom would bring home something really good to eat like spider mites or sap from a pine tree, he’d take it all. He’s up at the feeder right now. When I get up there I’m going to push him out of the way and bend his beak and if he tries to get rough I’ll fly into him so hard he’ll just go to a different feeder. And I’ll do it every time I see him from now on. Just as soon as I get bigger.
