Never hang a fly strip in the sight of a bird who likes to hang on things.

A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song. <3

I should have known better. That girl loves to climb and hang on things like a monkey. :blinking: I have laughed more at her in the last few months than I have in the past few years.

I am kind of over worked and just have not had time to fix the dog door. The flys in this area are horrendous. So now Myrtle has a bald belly.

She is a fast learner. Her wing tip hit the ceiling fan and scared her. It only took once. Now she ducks down and flys under the fans. But I won't take a chance on her belly feathers to see if she learned what fly strips are.

I don't have to worry about Rambo. He is a pedestrian and looks just like this walking through the house :amazon: . It is 6:14 am and he is already on the floor looking for something to get into.

Michael needs to put in a characature of an Amazon hanging by one foot.
