Owl be watching you


Hilariously enough, this owl is supposed to be defending our balcony from the pair of mourning doves that crap all over it.  The doves have literally made it impossible to step out on the balcony at all because it is covered in their excrement and filth.  We unfortunately have been too lazy to weigh down the owl, so for now, he is perched on our bookcase.  I believe wholeheartedly in his ability to scare off birds though; he has been creeping out all of the visitors that come over.  I won't lie, I think he watches me during the day to make sure I don't do anything scandalous.  Like dance around the apartment in my undies.  Which I may or may not do anyway.

The headgear that he's rocking now is a result of the wedding weekend in Tahoe.  Somehow, at the end of the wedding reception night, my head was topped with a coonskin cap and ski goggles.  Because that totally makes sense?  But it makes our owl look a lot less intimidating, don't you think?

  7. That must have been an interesting reception! I think you're right about the owl being up to the task, he's kind of creeping me out just being on my monitor. We have a hoosier on our front porch and 3 years in a row a pair of doves had babies on top of it. My wife thought it was cute, but after cleaning up after them 3 times the cuteness wore off. We placed an old watering can on top of the hoosier and that kept them from settling in again--they pecked at it a few times, then moved on.

    Apparently I was determined to embarrass myself yesterday. I met Bilbo long before Frodo, but used the wrong name in my comment anyway!

  10. Delayed reaction: "Every step you take, every vow you break, owl be watching you" lol, one of the creepiest, most blatant stalking songs ever! Compared to that, little owly is just cute.

    My mom made the mistake of saying she liked owls and then she was inundated with them every gift-giving holiday--she didn't like them THAT much. =)

  11. I don't know . . . the goggles kinda make him look as though he has more serious issues . . . and therefore, a tad more concerning. :)
