The Problem With Birds
Sometimes, Otter Keeper takes me to the park as a treat.Parks are really good if you’re an otter and your garden is not as big as you’d ideally like it to be (I’m an otter, and I’m not happy with our garden size). Going to the park is usually fun, but the other day it really wasn’t.
To start off with the park was brilliant, It was very hot and I enjoyed looking at things. The park is a wonderful place, if you haven’t been you really should go! Otter Keeper and I found an old man eating his sandwiches on a bench. Otter keeper said I probably shouldn’t bother him but I don’t always listen to Otter Keeper. He was a very nice old man, I mostly told him all about Otter Keeper and Teddy and then we discussed magnets and toast (I did all the talking). It was quite great really.
Everyone was having the best time ever… UNTIL THE BIRDS ARRIVED! Otter Keeper said they wanted my sandwiches. I tried to explain to the birds that my lunch was for otters only and showed them my name on my little otter lunchbox. It is written very clearly and it’s really not hard to understand, but they didn’t listen. I was very upset. I told Otter Keeper I didn’t want to go back to the park for at least 4 days. Otter Keeper said that was probably a good thing because I had annoyed the old man?
Hi Sam
I’m still enjoying the Otter stories. Actually, I love the Otter stories and am sharing them around with friends. Please tell Otter that we get a lot of birds here at home – mainly magpies and cockatoos. They steal all my fruit and have even started gobbling up the cat food which we keep out on the back deck. Pesky things! The Machinist taught me to use a catapult to scare them away, but one day, I think I hit one on the wing with a marble and I felt so very bad, that I never used the catapult again. Even when I shoo them away, I try not to use my ‘stern’ voice, because it could be the poor bird I hit.
Keep those Otter quests coming and look after each other!
NIce one!
I hate birds too, and there’s a cage with four of the nasty buggers in my house! Outside, birds sit in my trees and tease me when I’m lounging on my patio. I try and stalk them but they fly away. I HATE BIRDS!!
We have soo many birds in our garden O.O Moomin the cat doesn’t like them being their at all – especially the pigeons, she really hates them … she swears at them and pulls faces!

@Evil Cat
hey you !
yep Birds are really quite inferior.. otter is obsessed with how annoying they can be 😉
yeah, those birds were being rude
can birds read? maybe they didn’t see your name on the lunchbox
good idea though, play it safe and stay away for a coupla days
