The reason I think this, is when the bird was released and flapped and flew away, it spit a bunch of bird seed out at the same time. I currently don't have any bird seed at my feeder, so that's my best guess.coffeeontheporchwithmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17618627688821849806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372726504543914139.post-41771555685211162732017-04-28T21:18:59.905-04:002017-04-28T21:18:59.905-04:00I'm just getting around to responding, and we ...I'm just getting around to responding, and we have had some rain and things have grown and greened even more!coffeeontheporchwithmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17618627688821849806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372726504543914139.post-86442033769122442582017-04-28T15:59:03.019-04:002017-04-28T15:59:03.019-04:00Oh my gosh, what a rascal that Scooter is!!
