Bird feeder

"The furry one is at it again."

"Must be a hard cold season."

"It can't be, it's been so warm we haven't even gone south yet."

"Then why does the furry one keep trying here? There have to be other sources of food."

"Well our food is pretty good."

"For us it is, but for a furry one? Don't they eat other things?"

"I think they eat pretty much anything. I even saw one eating one of us once."

"What?!"

"What?"

"Don't you think that's pertinent information to share if furry ones eat us feathered ones? Like shouldn't we be protecting our feeder from them?"

"Nah, I think it's fine."

"How?!"

"I mean the feather one he was eating was already dead, I don't think furry ones are good hunters."

"Some are! Or have you already forgotten Jay that was taken down by the neighbor's furry one?"

"That was a meowing furry one. Not a fluffy tailed nut hider."

"Well this fluffy tailed nut hider has managed to get past the neighbor's meowing furry one and into our yard. Won't be long until he makes it to our tree."

"Don't know, he's never made it to our feeder before."

"Maybe this time he will."

"Want to bet on it?"

"What would we bet?"

"First dibs when the tall kinda furry ones hang those special feeders?"

"Is it that time of year already?"

"Well it is the cold season and some people have started to put the lines of bright things in trees, so it shouldn't be long before they make the special feeders out of those things from pine trees."

"Oh yeah, I guess so. That's a tempting offer."

"Oop, the furry one has reached the base of the tree, better decide quick if you want to make this bet."

"Fine, fine, I'm in. I say this time, the furry one finally makes it. Okay?"

"Okay!"

"Hey, that's cheating!"

"You are the one who didn't specify any rules for the bet."

"Swooping down and trying to attack the furry one is clearly implied!"

"Hrm I don't think so."

"That's cause you're the one doing it!"

"I think you mean I'm the one getting first dibs at the special feeders!"

"Gah, don't hurt the furry one, he's just hungry!"

"So am I, I want those special snacks!"

"Leave the furry one alone and I'll let you win."

"Fiiine."

"Thank you."

"You know though, now that furry one may come up here and take our food now."

"I think you scared him pretty good."

"He just better not come after the special feeders."

"If he does, I will help you chase him off."
