Hilarities: Bird Infestation

Last week, the day before the snow/ice storm, I was having a lovely conversation with my mom on the phone. Mid sentence, she stops and say, "OH MY GOSH there are like 2,000 birds in this one yard across the street!"

My mom can (as we all do sometimes) over emphasize things. I did not believe her. 2,000 birds? Pllluuuease.

I'm still on the phone with her during this hysteria...she's running around frantically looking for the camera, every two seconds still checking out the window to see if they're still there. I hear the clicks of the camera. "I'm emailing these to you."

Here's what she sent me:

After capturing these photos, mom looked down for a moment to scroll through them. When she looked back up, they were GONE! In a blink of an eye the yard looked like this:

Now, the next day, mom was talking to some friends and these birds got brought up. She quickly learned the story and reasoning behind the eerie, strange, massive amount of birds.

do you know???

Apparently birds have a built-in sensory that indicates when a massive snow storm is about to arrive. They can sense it up to 24 hours in advance. This kicks off their plan to get as much food from the grass as they can possible store up, because once the snow hits, they won't have access anymore.

Brilliant little birds, aren't they? Just another way the Lord shows us that He has a plan for everything, and made His creation perfect in His image! He perfectly made these birds, giving them the sense of weather conditions for their survival!
