The next day, the roofing inspector came out to the yard. He was a black squirrel. A rare sight in a predominantly grey squirrel yard. He was a gruff, scruffy looking guy. It looked like he hadn't even tried to brush his fur when he awoke that morning! But the word on the bird street was that THIS guy was the best when it came to roofing issues!
When he arrived in the yard, the black squirrel investigator barely gave the birds the time of day. He ran into the yard and was frantically looking everywhere except, UP at the birdhouses! He started digging in the yard! The addled birds had to tell the guy that the birdhouses are all ABOVE ground and to stop his needless and incessant digging!
The black squirrel investigator finally got the message and climbed up on top of a row of birdhouses to conduct his roofing inspection! He immediately looked down at the watchful birds and said "Which one of you birdbrains were thinking of living in this blue church-like birdhouse?"
Then he pointedly said "This roof is a piece of crap! Who-ever put this roof on didn't even use nails! I just see a dab of some old Elmer's Glue! All I have to do is sink my remarkably pointed teeth into this little piece of foam-core roofing here and I could easily topple this baby!"
The black squirrel inspector put his stamp of approval paw mark on the rest of the houses in the yard. Then he cruised up to the birds and said "Let's have that seed money and while you're at it, give me a boost up to your private feeder!"
The inspector ate all the bird food. Later that day the birds decided that the blue birdhouse would only be used as a decoy for wrens who always were stealing all the other bird's private dwellings!
