Get Out of My House

We have a birdfeeder and birdhouse hanging in our flower bed and under a tree outside of our living room window. LC and I filled the feeder two weeks ago. Since then, I haven't noticed any birds eating the seed. LC noticed when we filled the feeder that the birdhouse had a nest in it. I told her not to touch it because there might be birds inside. I've seen birds flying in and out of the birdhouse and I figure they've got a cozy little home going on. They're sparrows, by-the-way. Yesterday I was sitting in the living room and I could hear birds chirping, so I went to the window and looked out to see a female cardinal on the feeder eating the seed. I then noticed a sparrow poking her head out of the birdhouse. She seemed a wee bit uptight that the cardinal was that close to her home. Next thing I know, I'm assuming her hubby swooped down and was flying around the cardinal. Mr. bad-ass hubby kept himself between the cardinal and the birdhouse. He was seriously stressed out! I think the cardinal could have cared less. All she wanted was her food. I thought for sure I was going to see a bird brawl right then and there.

Back off buddy!
