I'm not fond of having anything stare at me, not even a bird. Especially if it seems to be a baleful stare.
We don't really have a proper lawn. The previous owner had made an attempt, but we never could afford to water it so the weeds took over. We're out in the country, so I just say we are going for a rustic look.
When I grew up, we had 1.5 acres, and the only part that ever got watered was right around the patio. So it got watered maybe 3 times a summer if we didn't get rain. The rest was a beautiful field of bright yellow dandelions that were great to pick and play with :D
And that bird is weird. It just sits on the fence and LOOKS at you. It is so strange. I'm not sure when it even eats! but it has to because it's still alive.
