Oh Where is that Birdie in the window????

The one with the REALLY ANNOYING CALL!
ok. Let me start this one on a joyous note ... before I get aggrevated. lol

I am a sun woman. I am a day woman and I'm pretty sure I will NEVER be a nocturnal being.
So during the winter I bought a natural light alarm clock.  This was a necessity for me. Since if I was supposed to wake up and feel good about the day, I would have to see some natural light going on. My husband is not like this. He can sleep until 11 am if he wanted to. I have to be sick to do that.

Anyways, this alarm clock I saw on the internet when I was doing some research on how to cope with the winter darkness.  So of COURSE  I wanted it!. It was a joy from the very first morning!  I woke up to light getting gradually brighter and brighter and you just have to adjust how bright you want it to be when you the alarm finally goes off, since ... it starts at a low grade. I am awake by the time it is 4 ...(and it can get to a light intensity of 20!!!!- yes that screams early riser!!) You could set what sound you wanted to walk up to.

I chose birds.  How lovely it was to wake up with a little smile on my face when the birds started chirping the next day for me to rise ... awwwww how relaxing and zen was that?

Fast forward to spring....I didn't realise how much I missed the actual sound of birds when winter was around until spring came! Then all of a sudden .. there were birds chirping around and a mass of bird activity! ... It was almost like the hearalding of new life and I have learnt that SPRING is my favourite time of year! ... Since Autumn was a big let down with only a bunch of yellow leaves and not the range of colours like in Canada.

Now that the days are much longer and the light stays around for much longer periods I now longer use the light to wake me up ... in fact we are now trying to shut it out from waking us up too early! It sure is a crazy turn of events!

But the craziest was one day when I was listening to birds singing and chirping I noticed that there was one particular bird that was expressively persistant.  I was not sure what kind of bird it was .. nor am I still ... but this bird has made begun to drive me insane!

The state of my insanity has begun apparant when I finally slammed off the birds chirping sound waking me in the morning and settled for a more yoga dull hollow chimes.

One night we were trying to sleep.  As the evening settled and our breathing calmed..... all we could hear was this one distinctive bird ....
poooeeeeee ppoooooeeeeeeeee POOOOEEEEEE  PPPOOOOOOEEEEEEEEIII!!!!!!!!!

I woke up and slammed the window shut.... Oh I wish the bird was just go somewhere else  and pooeeee away...
After a few moments ...
POOOOOEEEEE!! POOOOOOEEEE!! ... It was almost as though he sat on the window sill ....
My husband laughed .. not because of my act ... but because the little bird's song was just as loud as it was when the window was open.
'Are you serious?' I remember saying outloud.
From then on ... that particular little bird (I'm sure it was ONE bird .. but in truth it was perhaps an army) began taunting me.
I would hear it in the morning to wake up ..
When I was having breakfast
When I came home and closed the car door ... his was the first song that greeted me.
After dinner when we are enjoying a little 'How I Met Your Mother' time together ... there it is
When I lay my weary head to go to sleep ..... there it is!
There was never a song ... you know .. a pretty one that you can go .. awww ....
no ..
It was just ..
PPPOOOOOOEEEEEEE!! ....

I couldn't believe how much I started to hate that little bird.  I remember trying to see it once when I came home ... it was sooo loud !!! unbelievable ... what ever it is... it has a very good camuflage so I am convinced that it is a Female bird .. since .. in the animal kingdom we all know that the males are the prettier ones.. meant to be seen ..

I had dreams and thoughts of finding that little bird and caging him up and moving up over to .... someone else's house ... I don't want to kill it .. oh no ... that is cruelty .. and in truth I enjoyed at the beginning.

Today My husband  after another exclamation ' OH!!! That BIIIRDD!!!' of mine had chuckled at me .. and explained .. that he was amused when the birds actually came back and I was alll 'OH the Birds! Its so lovely to hear the birds' beginning-of-spring-song-of-mine.  He meanwhile had been thinking about how much of the trees around the bedroom he could cut down because he KNEW that bird was coming back to haunt us.

Wait .. you KNEW about this? ..
huh! ..... Talk about letting me experience the whole country on my own ..



How sweet ......


POOOOOOEEEEEE!!!! .
ARGH!
Hurry up and find a mate bird, build your nest or make your babies ... what ever you doing .. u need to speed up the process and better yet ... speedily go SOMEWHERE ELSE!!
Whey Yuh Say?
