Making peace with a zombie robin

The Zombie Robin

I think I cracked the nut of the zombie robin mystery. I started wondering what would drive me so over the edge and get me all freaked out like mini Rob Zombie? It became clear to me. Noise. And not being able to sleep. Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!!!

Floating eyeball

Remember the pie plate I had put in a tree to scare off the woodpecker? Well it makes a hell of a lot of noise all the time. What if that sounds was literally driving this robin crazy? I immediately went outside, cut down the pie plate eyeball and since then, all has been quiet.

What a relief! And now... I feel guilty. I suppose this was all my fault? I personally blame the woodpecker though. I would have let well enough alone had he not attacked my roof.

Regardless, all seems to be better with the world. Although I hesitate to say that, feels like an invitation for more drama from Nature. Fingers crossed that I have made peace with the tiny natural world around me.

So I guess pecking your windows was the Zombie Robin equivalent of downstairs neighbours poking the ceiling with a broom handle and yelling "Quiet down up there! Damn kids!"

How cool that you figured out what the problem was. BE the robin!

Yes very cool that you read the robin's mind. Hey, since you got a pie plate kicking around now, I guess it's time to bake something in it lol....Hope the peace continues:)
