When Mrs. Grumpy and I went to Hawaii on our honeymoon she had the idea of leaving all the windows open one night to hear the waves. That changed REAL FAST when she get blown out of bed by ever f–k–g Myna bird in the Pacific start screeching outside the window at 4:30 in the morning.
when the Chicks went to Hawaii and visited some friends, we stayed at their residence: a beautiful house on 2 acres. They owned some peacocks. They justly warned us. At 5 am every morning the peacocks left the branches that they slept in and landed on the roof of their house and started pounding on it with their feet. It was time for “Breakfast”. It sounded like a police raid.

One word: Magpies. They are the most annoying bird on the entire planet. I will never live in Alberta again!
And how stupid was that worm for getting up so early himself, no?

for the first time ever, I’ve actually thought about that phrase, “the early bird gets the worm.”

Suddenly I feel both “AAhhhh” & “AHHHHH” The first, b/c I realized the basis for the phrase, and the latter…b/c geez!! how flighty can a girl be for NOT realizing that!!

I remember the first time I ever stayed up all night, and the feeling has remained with me since: being awake when the birds woke up. The night is dead quiet until then. In New England where I grew up, we’d get the two-tone tweet in the wee hours, “bee-burr, bee-burr.” Hearing that sound meant that either I was either a bird or an insomniac.

‘Early bird might get the worm, but late mouse gets the cheese.’
