I was out doing my thing:
You know–hunting!
When I decided to head out to the field to see if there were any field mice wanting to play with me
Yep…lots of big birds
Oh! Well. I started moving along the gated pipe, searching and searching, trying to coax at least one mouse out into the open.
While I was doing that a new flock of the GIANT BIRDS FLEW DOWN AND LIT RIGHT BY ME!!!
I tried to ignore them, but ONE DECIDED TO PECK MY HEAD!!! Mom washed my head—but I washed it better.
I AM NOT BIRD FOOD!!!
I ran as fast as I could back to the house!
It was a couple of days before I felt comfortable going outside.
Mom said to be careful for a spell. The cranes are starting to migrate
It won’t be long until they are all gone…but until then….
I need to stay in the yard!

OMGoodness, CC. Mom always warns me that birds will peck my face off, but she never told me they could also peck my head off! Thanks for the warning! Be careful out there…
Love and licks,

Mom said I could have had a hole through my head with those beaks of theirs. I think the bird was just curious. I beat it out of there. TLC
