So, I woke up this morning feeling happy and refreshed because I got to sleep in more than normal...until 7am...and it was going to be a great day. Later into the day I went out with my puppy, book, sunglasses and lounge chair to the yard to sit in front of pond and enjoy my yard...that all came to a screeching halt when Gracie and I went to fill up the pond with more water. Our gag reflexes soon kicked in as we stared in HORROR at our beautiful pond and the disgustingness that had overcome it. Once again, stop reading if you like nature.
Behold my pond's contents:
What is that you ask? Oh, well that would be 21, count them...21 dead birds in my pond. Now, I will allow you to gasp in horror. Are you done? Yes, now on with the story. What is my first reaction to this? Besides holding my breath and just staring and trying to comprehend it for a couple minutes, I then locked my puppy inside and had to fish them all out with a shovel!!!
EWWW!

WTH?! What kind of crazy poison radiation do you have in your pond?
Or maybe it was a mass suicide pact. Twenty-one swallows decided they could not face the cold and darkness of another winter and decided to go out in style.
Or maybe you have an enemy who is pranking you with dead birds?
Or maybe an airplane flew through a swarm of sparrows directly over your house?
My mom thought it was a bird cult that committed a mass suicide. They call themselves the "Birds". Super gross. If it was crows I would say it was justice, but I like whatever birds they were...I couldn't really tell at that point...
I'm going with the Kamikazi birds theory!
