with those damned starlings
being an avid bird watcher as a youngster
i was always aware what was going on in my home turf area
I knew where every nest was -knew every birds name
how they flew, what sounds they made....the whole nine yards
well one day as my neighbor grilled 8 -10 hamburgers on his grill
the F-ing starlings would wait for him to go inside
because they are opportunist's to the
extreme
they'd glide on down from there perch on his chimney
their feet completely used to the heat....from being up there
and they'd gorge themselves quickly on the red meat like piranha
before he'd get the chance to flip them burgers over see
then they'd vanish just as quick 
like a magic trick
so he comes out , and he's like 55, and i am five to seven years old
and he just looses his mind completely ...comes charging after me
to take out his absolute rage after seeing the literally striped thin patties on the grill...screaming bloody murder shaking me like a rag doll quite violently -> while accusing my dog of the crime
i tried to tell him and explain what i just moments before had witnessed with these sneaky as hell F-ing starlings and he
thought that was the BIGGEST god dam lie of all !!!! made him even madder
and he started shaking me even harder... he was going insane....
then while this was going on ......the starlings went down for seconds
and i hit him hard to get his attention ....
and pointed to his grill SEEE ->>> now crying and mad as hell
showing him who the real thieves were!
LOOK
he goes running over there screaming at them now
then i proceeded to call him every swear word i had ever heard
and made him fell like a friggan pile of ant sh!t
my DAD almost went to jail after he told him a thing or two later
true story
