HOMELESS BIRD

The other morning I peeked out the patio door to see how the day was shaping up when I saw a bird fly past the door and looked to be landing somewhere on the patio (with straw in mouth) My curiosity got the best of me and I went out to look -

WAIT, LET'S REWIND....
My parents gave us a grill a few years ago. We decided to officially start the grilling season a couple weeks ago. We had a great dinner with BBQ hamburgers and hot dogs - now, here's one of our weaknesses....we never put the cover back on the grill.


FAST FORWARD TO THE OTHER MORNING....When I went out on the patio I saw this:




and I thought, "oh, that bird was making a nest on our propane tank."
Then I looked up a litte higher and saw this:




and I thought, "oh no! that bird MIGHT be making a nest IN the grill!"
And then I lifted up the grill lid to find this:



Adam cleaned out the BBQ grill and I actually felt bad that we had just destroyed this hard working, little birdies home! I'm sorry dear birdie, but we do love to grill - you'll have to find another home somewhere else!
So, for all you lazy people out there like us, remember to put on your grill cover - EVERYTIME!! Because if you don't, it will happen to you over and over again (yep, that's right...a week later we had BBQ, didn't put the cover on, and by the next morning that bird had started right back to work!)

That totally happened to us 2 years ago. It was crazy. Silly birds.

I'm shaking I'm laughing so hard! I just can't imagine lifting the lid and finding that! and we never put the cover on once the grilling season starts! Maybe we should!
