OMFG!!! SOMEBODY SHOOT THOSE CROWS!!!
May. 26th, 2005 05:43 amOkay, so I don't mind nature. I try not to step on earthworms when it rains. I yield to spiders. I brake for bees. I've even resigned myself to being serenaded every single morning by the chorus of birds that live in the trees beside my apartment. Don't get me wrong. They sound wonderful. Like the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Really. But do they have to rehearse so very very early in the morning. I swear they're up before the sun. Do they not sleep????
Anyway, like I said. I'm cool with that. I can handle the little songbirds out there singing their little hearts out and having their bingo meetings and whatnots. But this morning I was ripped out of a sound sleep by the most hideously raucous and obnoxious noise ever. One crow outside was going WAK! WAK! WAK! non stop! >< This was obviously some secret signal to all other crows in the area because not five minutes after this idiot crow started up, what sounded like a flock of crows started going WAK! WAK! WAK!
Let me tell you, a flock of crows does not sound like the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. More like Metalica with all their instruments out of tune >< This cacaphony of ear numbing sound continued for fifteen minutes. Fifteen minutes!!! I swear if I had a gun, I'd have been out there in my nightgown shooting the bastards.
Since I'm gun less, I was sorely tempted to go out there anyway and yell and scream and wave my arms around at them. Yeah. That would have been a good thing. My neighbours would have probably called the police. I can picture it now. The police come to cart me away and I'd be "Yay! Thank goodness you're here, officers! These crows are disturbing the peace! Can I borrow a gun?"
The stupid thing is it was probably a fight over who got to eat the best bits of garbage, since I think it's too late for it to be a fight over housing rights. Idiot crows. Thank gods for the songbirds though. They seemed to have driven the crows off. Or maybe they sold them tickets to the concert and the crows are listening.
Either way, it's quiet now, so I'm going to try to go back to sleep for the hour and half I have left. Groan. Rassen fracken crows!
