I'll spare the gross details, but I'm still a bit disturbed and it's been over an hour. We'll just say one/all 3? of our crows grossed me out tonight with what was left next to and in our two bird baths. I thought what I cleaned up next to the empty one was bad enough to warrant Mom buying me lunch Sunday (she's not home this week) but after I had recovered from that and was finishing watering the flowers I found some other stuff floating in the other bird bath. Since I'd already thrown one old hand shovel out and this part grossed me out even more I called and told her she was going to have to deal with it on Sunday because it was worth far more than just lunch.
I don't care how strong of a woman you are, there are just some things no one should have to clean up regardless of gender and would be a good reason to have a guy around that can handle it. I did call a friend to help with moral support while I took care of it since Mom wasn't answering.
I don't even want to guess but I will say that cleaning up after animals, birds and whatever can be a challenge. I am getting another birdbath as soon as I find one I like so hopefully it will only be the cute little birds that it attracts. And, now I must find a humming bird feeder as we had one right by the window yesterday evening. For me this is my entertainment out my big windows when I am enjoying breakfast, coffee or computer time, so well worth the extra few chores and very relaxing.
