Seeds, hulls & bird poopies everywhere. Phoo-ee!

Post by lovezebs » Wed Sep 10, 2014 2:38 am

:roll: GOOD GRIEF!!!
Today I decided to try my old blow dryer on the bird seeds, to blow away the seed hulls. I just got so sick of blowing and blowing into a tray of seeds that I thought that this might be a great idea.
Balancing the tray over a large trash bag, I turned on the blow dryer on to the lowest setting and got to work. Everything was going just fine, and I found myself thinking, hey this is a brilliant Idea. Brilliant, but a little too slow....
Well, if it is a bit too slow on low setting...
Are you starting to follow my train of thought yet?

Yours truly decided to knock it up a notch.
CLICK!
The minute I went to a higher setting, the whole tray of seeds, hulls, birdy poopies and God only knows what exploded into my face in a huge swirling POOF. There were seeds everywhere flying through the air. They went into my mouth that was open in shock, up my nose, Into my hair, my clothes, my slippers, literally everywhere. They went into the sink, into the stove elements, all over the counters, the floor, inside an open cupboard and drawer.
Thank God I had my glasses on, or I would have been in real trouble.
Finally I managed to turn the darn blower off and came up for air. Sneezing, wheezing, and spitting, I straightend up and looked around my seed covered kitchen, then had to laugh.

All of my birds like one were sitting very still, watching me with wide open eyes. :shock: I'm sure that if their beaks could have hung open, they would have.
Who says humans can't read birds minds?
I'm a 100% sure that they were thinking : What the heck is that crazy woman doing now ? If they could have laughed, they would have been rolling in their flights. L-) =)) L-) =))

That totally sounds like something I'd do. You just gotta laugh, though. I can really picture that happening in my own kitchen. Thanks for the heads up, lol

KarenB and finchmix22 and Sam007

Glad you guys got a chuckle . I am thinking that if anyone could have posted a video on the internet, it would have gone viral. Crazy bird woman, covered in seeds and bird poops!!! :-D

When I blow the birds seeds, what happens sometimes is the seed hull gets in my eye. It's actually sore enough but I take it out obviously

Get a pair of glasses, like cheep, plastic safety glasses. It saves your eyes a lot of pain. :-)
