As promised, we are bringing you another informative and enlightening interview from out here in the country. You have seen some photos from around our bird feeder before, but you haven’t seen these visitors yet. They are here every day but not the easiest diners to get along with. They seem pushy and rather rude, so we hope that we can address some of those issues with them today. I happen to have it on good authority [the Juncos are terrible gossips] that this is a married couple and their names are Harriet and Bob.
Intrepid Interviewer: Excuse me – can I have a minute of your time? I’d like to ask you a few questions if that would be okay.
Harriet: Who is that?
Bob: Don’t talk to her!
Harriet: Why not? She looks okay to me. 
Bob: I hate how she is always out here with that noisy box thing – click click click click, pointing it everywhere. Drives me nuts! Stop looking at her – just pretend you don’t notice her.
Harriet: Oh honestly Bob – you are such a grouch sometimes. I still think she seems okay. If you don’t like her, we could just fly away you know. She doesn’t look like she could fly.
Bob: Fly away? Hello? I am eating here! Let her fly away. Stop looking at her I said!
Harriet: Fine, I will ignore her. Stop eating all those sunflower seeds – you know that they will give you terrible gas later!
Harriet: I can’t look – is she still there?
Bob: She is still there. Can’t you hear that clicking box she is pointing over here. What a pain. This is hardly worth the bother today. 
Intrepid Interviewer: Um, hello? Can I talk to you guys for a minute? Really – I just have a few questions and then I will leave you to your lunch. 
Harriet: Hi – I am not supposed to talk to you but I think you are fine and I also want to thank you for putting all this great food out here for us all the time and I don’t mind that clicking box thing but my husband, Bob says it drives him crazy, so I am not supposed to talk to you because if we don’t talk to you, you will get bored and go away and then he can eat in peace without anyone bothering him but really I think he is just crabby and I don’t mind talking to you and I like the view here and I like it even better in the summer when you have all those nice plants out here and it is cool and shady and I will even bring my babies here next year so they can have some of this delicious bird seed that you put out here for us and I thi… 
Bob: ENOUGH! Oh man – now she will never leave us alone. I am out of here. The people across the road have a feeder and no one up there ever comes out to point things at us or try and talk to us. I’ll be home later, but don’t wait up for me because I am going to meet some of the boys later up by the pine trees.
Harriet: Oh fine Bob! You don’t have to yell! I was just trying to be a little friendly. Go off with your friends and don’t give any thought at all to my needs. I’ll just go home and sweep the nest and ….. oh, I just can’t even talk to you right now!
So that kind of ended the whole interview thing for today. Maybe I will try the chickadees – they are much more open and sharing birds and I am pretty sure they like me.
Yes, those bluejays can be a testy little bunch of feathers, can’t they?
So…you have all my chicadees this year, do you? I wondered where they all went…
Those are just about the cutest birds I’ve ever seen! Great post!
Another great interview. I love it!
Found your blog after you posted a comment on mine. Thanks for visiting!
Great blue jay pics today! Such brilliant feathers they have!
Ooooh…nasty little bird isn’t he?!! The prettier the bird the nastier they are! LOL!! Great interview!!
Harriet and Bob’s colors are simply gorgeous!
I think you should interview some Cardinals next…lol
Just stopped by because you commented at my site, and I LOVE this little interview. I’ll be back!
Sandra
I really enjoy the interviews and the pictures! They make me smile!
Love, CM
I think somebody’s going to be sleeping on the branch tonight.
Bwahaha! I love the sunflowers give gas thing.
I lurve the interview posts. They crack me up! Beautiful pics too.. I wish I had your eye… not your literal eye, your photographer eye.
Thanks for stopping by. I had to laugh at your mother’s refusal to let you wear white. This post didn’t necessarily have to be what your actual wedding WAS, but if you wanted to plan your dream wedding, what would you choose? Feel free to go back and dream big with another entry. It’s all for fun.
You crack me up!
You crack me up!
LOL – you guys are cracking me up today! Harriet and Bob have not been back today, so I hope they get over their little tiff pretty soon.
Ness – I don’t think I would change anything actually – I did misread the intent though obviously.
Well, Bob can take a hike if he can’t get his attitude adjusted. Perhaps the Cardinals or the Chickadees will be less snobbish customers.
I love the photos…their colors are so vibrant!
What a darling post and great interview – not to mention the beautiful pictures.
This weekend we went to our friends’ ranch and I saw, for the first time, Green Jays – have you seen them before. I’d never seen them as long as I’ve lived her, but I saw bunches of them. They are bright green (like a parakeet) and have bright blue heads, like the Blue Jay does – they are beautiful. I also saw lots of baby calves – about 7 cows had had their babies over the past week or so and they are precious!!
I loved this post. Take care – Kellan
Oh what fun! I love watching the jays attack our cat. :) And I Was out scaring horses and cows with my little click click box today!
I don’t think we have green jays anywhere near us Kellan – they sound beautiful though. My father in law sold all his cattle last fall and I kind of miss seeing them, even though they were more than he could take care of anymore. The babies are unbelievably cute and hilarious besides with all of their running around and kicking up their heels. Our kids loved going up to the baryard to play with them.
LOL Flea – no interview though? ;)
Ha!!! Sunflower seeds and terrible gas! This sounds like something I’d tell my DH! I guess all species of wives have similar concerns about their husbands…the world over. Big smile!
well that Bob is just for the birds.
I bet the most interesting birds to interview would be the tufted tit mice. mouses?:)
Wow, I don’t think they were very nice. Bright pretty birds are full of themselves…think they’re better than everyone else.
I love this post!! The birds are so cute and I can see them saying that in the pictures!! great job!!
What beautiful pictures! Their coloring is so pretty, and I loved your little “interview”, cute!
Lizzy
Love Love Love it. Terrific ppictures and as always, a captivating interview.
Wow, they could have their own sitcom!
Oh, I love it when you do your animal interviews!
The chickadees are much more friendly and open . . .
oh my gosh! You name the birds!! That is just brilliant. I must name my Cardinals. Love the whole interview!
Thanks for stopping by my blog!
another great job. Jays can be a bit gruff, but they are attractive birds!
