Why do birds suddenly appear?
because you need your head pooped on
@moosezilla: In some cultures that is a sign of good luck.
Why do stars fall down from the sky?
What kind of birds? If they're vultures, it's because of the dead flesh. Where are you? If you live in the north, it could simply be that the birds are returning after their migration to the south. You need to be more specific.
(Disclaimer: I know it's a song lyric)
every time...you are near?!
because just like me, they long to be, close to yooooooooouuu
Because I just washed my damn car.
Because they want to ask a question, to increase their rep?
Edit: Do birds appear for you when you are driving too?
@pickypickypicky: Actually, I don't really worry about my rep rating here. I actually didn't even really know these discussion forums existed until like, 2 days ago.
They appear when I'm driving. Mostly though they appear when I'm walking my dogs, and when one of my dogs sees a couple of crows attempting a murder, she'll chase them. She's fun like that.
They are probably migrating or its mating time. One thing I have always marveled at - WHY DO BIRDS ALWAYS LAND ON THE CORRECT (NOT LIVE WIRE) AND ALL FACE IN THE SAME DIRECTION AT ONCE? Who gives the command: "And Down we Go!"?
@klozitshoper: They do land on live wires, they don't get shocked as they are not grounded.
That is why all the girls in town follow you around.
Birds, actually male cardinal(s), have discovered the passenger side rear-view mirror on my car. Nice. Lots of singing & posturing. Not so nice - crap on the car. Mating season...but then why are the males courting an image of themselves? (Not going there, okay?) Have covered the mirror w/a cloth. Problem solved. Do miss the singing, though. ;-)
@gmwhit: If you get a mirrored gazing ball they will hit that instead. Or just an inexpensive mirror.
@pickypickypicky: Do have a mirrored gazing ball in the back yard. They went there briefly, but didn't hang around. They're unable to perch on it & stay there for hours. Apparently not as comfy as my car where they can sit right in front of the mirror. And add a touch of white to my black car. :-( BTW: Great minds & all that - my 1st thought was rep, too. Guess we were wrong.
@gmwhit: Thank you for the laugh, I lol'd on myself.
@gmwhit: They slide off of mine too, that is why it is so entertaining. Last year I had one pining, for himself, for so long, I ended up covering it up, part of the day, so he would go eat, and conduct important bird business. It would be a pain, but maybe try slipping socks over them? Just don't forget to take them off. Still easier than the crud on the car.
Re: the rep thing, It was the song lyrics that made me suspicious. It's been done a few times before. I don't down-vote the beleaguered rep questions anyway, we've all been there. I think there should be a magic code word, that just indicates a rep question, where we all just let it go w/o down-voting. Kind of a gimmie, if you will, to buck the system.
Well, you did go to the bird house at the zoo, so they didn't really "appear"...
@pickypickypicky: No worries, I just did it because the song popped into my head, and I have this weird habit of sharing earwigs. I'm especially known to spontaneously break into renditions of "My Little Buttercup" ala "The Three Amigos."
I just figured it'd be silly and fun, and if people didn't like it whatever. I will admit that between this thread and tattling expired deals it DID kick me up over that 90 hump. I certainly didn't expect it to. I was just trying to do some spring cleanup etc.
@gmwhit: I've often wondered that if you glued shiny change to the sidewalk if birds would poop on it ala freshly washed windshields...
@xavoc: Ha, earwigs, earworms, whatever you call them, D.wooters are in sympathy with that. I have been hearing Karen Carpenter all day, since reading this post, so I have gotten my comeuppance for being cranky. My comment was more in response to Woot demanding payment, for the fun we have here, in questions. Inevitably, to keep up rep, we all have to ask, and read, silly questions. Like literally, Why is the sky blue?

Actually, in reading your great responses, I must revise to: Welcome, join in the fun.
You might find it a little hard to quit though. : D
@pickypickypicky: Eh, I have 2 months left at my job, they don't have enough work for me to do, and I'm bored much of my day. So, really this is a welcome break for me.
