If I knew there was a house where if people went near on in it & would die
I wouldn't go near it.

I'm a smart cookie - I don't go in the haunted house where people die, hell I won't go near it.

So you know - the songbirds saw one of their own viciously die at the hands of the mysterious catpaw and yet the next day they returned and perched there outside my windowsill.

Personally, it's evolution at work because a smart songbird would have known better than to sit on the haunted ledge!!! Evita was just cleaning up the gene pool!

4. Like moths to a flame
Face it, that's where the term "birdbrain" comes from.

5. yes you would
you'd go near it for the same reason the songbird did, open territory cheap at the price

we buy the haunted house cuz we get a discount

songbird goes to the empty zone because he doesn't have to fight for the zone, less energy expended

it isn't evolution at work, because most times expending less energy to get territory is the SMART thing to do

it's chance & bad luck at work

but winners will always crap on losers because it makes them feel more superior and sure their luck is the result of their superiority

6. Suuuuuuuure. You're just making excuses for your murderous cat.
Next thing you know, you'll be claiming that she was just "having fun" with them, like it was all some big game.

:evilgrin:
