For the second straight year, birds have, for some reason, taken up residence in our chimney.
Last year they stuck around for a couple of weeks – which was more than plenty. This year it is already over two weeks and they are still happily ensconced among the soot and ashes.
I keep telling my wife that they\’ll be gone any day now. She keeps giving me the rolling-eye look and complaining that their incessant chirping is in competition with her TV shows (NOTE: my wife read this and says I have it all wrong: she can hear the shows, it\’s just that she wants them out. “By this time, either they pay rent or leave”).
Apparently ornithology is no match for The Voice, The Real Housewives of (pick a city) and American Idol.
If anyone has a good idea as to how to send them on their way, unharmed of course, I\’m all ears…assuming I can hear you over the chirps.
