R.I.P Birds!!



After almost a month of horrible sleepless nights due to being awakened by the interminable squawking/moaning/cooing of what we assumed to be pigeons in our roof, we have finally been rid of their existence! To our utter shock, our landlord actually contacted some type of Thai pest control, and on Saturday, as were lazily sitting with friends in our driveway enjoying the winter weather, the man produces two of the the ugliest, mangiest set of birds that I have ever seen. Much to my chagrin, after I screamed in horror the first time, the pest control proceeded to sort of chase me around with the birds, who, were still alive. Anyone that knows me is fully aware of the fact that next to mall food courts and bus stops, birds are Public Enemy #1. Especially these ones, who appeared to be suffering from some sort of bird leprosy. If anyone has any thoughts on what kind of birds these might be, let me know. This morning, not even the howling dogs could bother me, as it was the first time since arriving here that the sound of hyperventilating birds weren't the first thing I heard!
