Birds are like catfish

I've about decided birds are like catfish. That is, they'll eat just about anything including lots and lots of dog food.
Here's the deal. We have two dogs at the Windmill Ranch, Lola and Curley. Lola's a sweet yellow lab. She just wants you to pet her. Curley's a psychopathic Cocker Spaniel. My best advice is just leave him alone. Anyway, I feed 'em on the front porch.
See, we have this tremendous front porch that wraps partially around our pavilion. It's a great place to sit back, put your feet up and enjoy what mother nature offers.. which changes on any given day. I also feed Lola and Curley along the southwest corner.
Well, you'd think someone rang the dinner bell everytime I set out their food. Birds of all shapes and sizes descend on the pavilion. Who needs bird feed? We have the graekels (sp) of course. But the male Cardinal also dines at the pavilion. The Ladderbacks also enjoy a snack a la fresco.. and who knows what else. If I didn't know better I'd say every bird enjoys dog food. Now before the experts write me and say, "the flyisthighest yellow tail morganzabobaboob" hates dog food" know that I'm exaggerating. But, it really seems birds like dogfood.
So, if you're sitting on your own porch this evening wondering 'where have all the birds gone." Well, they're at the Windmill Ranch near Snyder enjoying 'Pedigree with chicken.'

PS.. I wish they'd stop. My dogs are hungry.
