The Terrible Bird Killer

We have a bird feeder outside our upstairs kitchen window that my dad gave Scotty for his birthday. The birds haven't been fed in about two weeks. So, I finally carried the 50lb box of birdseed upstairs from the garage. As soon as I opened it, at least 3 terrifying spiders popped out to say hello and hundreds of slimy larva things oozed everywhere inside. Instead of dipping my hand in the box to scoop out seed and funnel it into the feeder, I did something I thought was more logical. I dropped the entire box face down, through the window, and onto the grass in the back yard. This way I was safe from the bugs that wanted to kill me, and the hundreds of birds in the parkway would be able to eat in our backyard again. What I didn't consider at that moment was this would make it much easier for our cat to catch birds. Instead of jumping and smacking her stupid face into the window, several times like she has each day for weeks, she has been able to catch birds effortlessly from ground level. Who knows how many birds have lost their lives in the last 24 hours. Spiders are terrible things!
