Early every morning, I go out to my deck with my cup of coffee in one hand, and a little glass bowl full of wax worms in the other.
I sit down in a chair, and have the following dialogue with my favorite little backyard bird friend, the Black Capped Chickadee.
Our conversation goes something like this....
"Good Morning you adorable little Black Capped Chickadee!"
"Are you talking to me right now?"
"Why Yes I am! Why don't you settle in and get comfortable and have a look at the LIVE goodies I brought out for you this morning!"
"My my, those wax worms, certainly do look delicious!"
"Go ahead and try one! They are fresh and squirmy, just the way you like them!"
"Oh dear, I can't decide which one to eat first! They all look SO tempting!"
"Well, my little chickadee friend...they are ALL for you - so take your time - enjoy them, savor them, let them melt in your mouth, but ... whatever you do ... DO NOT DROP ONE IN MY COFFEE CUP LIKE YOU DID YESTERDAY! THAT WAS SO NOT FUNNY!"
