They say a bird in the house …

Is worth two in the mailbox (why I didn’t pay my bills in May) …

And three in the carport (where they pooped on our cars) …

And Lord only knows how many baby birds inside this hanging glass lantern (it appeared to be a multi-family unit) …

And, once I lead them out with a trail of bread crumbs, in they come again!

So it's not just stray dogs, cats, and ponies that find my house. Word somehow gets around the animal kingdom there is safe shelter to be found here.

Oh, my robins and spar-roh-oh-ohs 
They haunt me ...
Like hungry gho-oh-osts they want me
No, they JUST WON'T GO
My wrens and sparrows ...
