  I think I have to tell my favorite bird story.

  I used to have a glorious organic garden, and I would work in it almost every day. One day, as I was turning a bed for the next crop, a Robin sat on the edge of another bed watching me. When I stepped back to take a break, he hopped over to where I’d been working, and pulled up a big worm.

  I went back to work, and he continued to watch me. Occasionally I’d toss him a worm. After that, he’d show up whenever I’d work, for a free meal.

  One day, I got started, and my buddy showed up. He called quietly, in that little warbling chortle that they do, and a female robin hopped out from behind the neighbor’s fence. She spotted me, and became immediately agitated, but he chortled lightly, and she settled down, eyeing me warily.

  I got to work, and tossed him a worm, which startled her. He gulped it down as she watched. Then I tossed a worm to her, startling her again, but less. She carefully approached the worm and ate. After that she settled down, and enjoyed her dinner

  My Robin friend had gone out and got himself a date, and brought her to his favorite restaurant, where he’s friends with the head chef. What a BALLER move!

    Oh my goodness, I love this! Thank you so much for sharing! :) Sounds like you had a kickass garden; you must be very talented and hard-working. I’m jealous!

    Just yesterday a friend mentioned that when he was a kid, there was a robin that would always show up while he was working in his garden, and it would sit on his shoe the whole time and pick out worms. It’s so cool to read this right afterwards! Such neat little birdies.

    It is beautiful!

    Sex is natural and not something that’s aesthetically inferior to other things

    Honestly the way birds mate call is more beautiful than crass humans, and I’m pretty sure they’re not saying crass things like crass humans do.

      Mmm not quite always. Some species, like house sparrows, are rather monotonous and annoying.

  Birds: Why is that funny?

  Hot take: too many songs are about Love, and it gets boring. Like seriously, 95%

  • hayvan@piefed.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    That’s why we have Power Metal et al.

    • SpongyAneurysm@feddit.org ⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Metal in general. Not too many lovesongs there.

    I rarely listen to music and when I do it’s because someone else turned it on. But my kid absolutely loves music, so we take turns on when she can decide if the radio is on in the car.

    The last time I was just thinking, “why on earth is 95% of these songs about wanting a woman/man, romantically or sexually?

      Was it all the same genre? Genres have a tendency to be about the same thing. Rap is about sex, strippers, guns and drugs. Punk rock is usually about break ups and depression. Country is trucks, beer, nostalgia. Pop is usually about sex and love…

      Unless your child is driving the car, can’t she just wear earphones to have music whenever she wants to?

  That’s how we got “Layla”…but it didn’t work.

    Patti Boyd did go back & forth between Eric Clapton & George Harrison. Tragically by the time she finally settled for Eric Clapton, it was too late & he ended up treating her like trash just the way she’d treated him like trash all those years he longed for her.

    Did I get any of that right?, or please tell me if I’m showing symptoms of dementia. Sincerely please tell me.

      Nah, Clapton treated her bad because he’s shit person. A great guitarist, but a shit person.

      Check it out! Over there is an old matras covered in colourful pillows. Sorry if it’s a bit smelly. In that corner there’s a beanbag, with a sweet-ass lava lamp and an old record player next to it. The lava lamp works with tea lights, but the record player doesn’t work because there’s no electricity. In the other corner there’s a cardboard box full of old Spider-Man comics! Pretty cool, right?
