The Dog Feeder And The Birds

Tweet

About a week ago I bought a dog feeder to train old dogs new tricks. I talked to the dogs and I told them no more bowls and they had to share the food. They still do not know how to open the door to the dog feeder so I have it propped open with a small stick, but they do eat from it. I have so many birds and I used to watch them fly down and get dog food all the time, I never minded, they have to eat too and usually the dogs were already full. Yesterday Tony was helping me outside, I needed a few post holes dug and the grass mowed, he took the holes to dig so I set him a resting chair out back in the dogs area and I went about my own work. I often checked on him and took him something to drink through out the three hours we were working. When the day was done he told me about the bird he watched : He said it was one of the smaller birds with a red head and that the bird would fly down and set in front of the dog feeder, take one morsel out and lay it in the grass and he did this over and over till he had a little pile outside of the dog feeder. Tony said to the bird " little pig get out of here" and he flew off with a mouth full and then it was not long and all his bird friends came by and got food. Tony was amazed at how fast that little bird was emptying the dog feeder. Me? I think its funny. Birds ever do funny things while you watched?
