Do I know why the caged birds sing? I have several theories:
* Subterfuge for its creepiness
* Facade for its evilness
* Trying to call his creepy, evil cousins on the outside to come and get him out.
All of this makes sense. Why? Because birds are evil. Yes, birds. Er’ last one of them. Okay, except for the ones I eat. So I do apologize chickens, Cornish Hens, and turkeys. But besides them, I can’t deal with birds of any kind.
Blame it on Alfred Hitchcock’s “The Birds”, sh*t, you can blame it on the rain, or even blame it on the boogie. The creatures just ain’t right. Trust me, I know these things. I even have a delusional friend, who’s name I won’t mention (but she is part of the blog Gimme That Glow and her name starts with an O and ends in -dara o_0 ) , who is obsessed with owls. Sigh, yes, creepy wise-ass owls. She torments me by sending me links to owl pictures on twitter. So now I call her OwlDara… she is so weird. Any-hoot. <–see what I did there?
However,I do have a friend that shares my bird insensibility Just take all of this in… a conversation with my very good buddy and penpal Brandelyn of BeeNCee.com:
me: by the way… i don’t like birds, they are scary, unless they are like parrots or parakeets in a cage

I’m here to defend doves. Mourning doves, specifically.
1.They mate for life and will pine away and die if they lose their mate.
B. They are tan, not white, with black wingtips and black specks on their wings and tails.
III. Both parents will sacrifice themselves attempting to distract predators from their young.
Fourth. They have a very plaintive, yet peaceful call.
On the otherhand, the bastards shit on my windshield like er’day… so screw ’em.
BEST COMMENT EVER!
SEE, we said white folks like doves, lol
Hilarious !!!!!!!!! Ok I’m not gonna lie. Some birds are annoying not creepy but annoying!! Owls are SACRED I say !!! SACRED ! they are majestic and whimsical and wise n shit. lol
have you SEEN Legend of the Guardians for God’s sake ?! They save lives ! * hmph * ( well other owl lives tho O_o )
Uhhh not too many animals freak me out but I’m gonna have to go with wolves. or anything furry whose eyes glow in the dark :-/ yeaaahhh that’s pretty freaky! lol
Lemme Lone Alise !!!! LMAO!
You know I have to mess with you….it is what our friendship is built on, lol. Real talk though I saw some owl jewelry yesterday that was actually cute (but still creepy), but they made me think of you… almost picked something up for ya, but then my better judgment kicked in… 😉
Pigeons are not all white. Doves are! LOL!
My friend keeps on differentiating this. What is a pigeon, what is a dove?
Well, for me, owls are quite impressive birds like any other birds. My friend has a owl bird and they are look pretty intelligent birds.
