Risking my Life for Birds

After some extensive soul searching, I have finally decided that my readers need to know the truth. As it happens, a few months ago, I received an anonymous threat in the form of my peep beast being covered in goat’s blood. Below is a photo of the beast prior to the blood incident, as I was too heartbroken to photograph it afterwards.

There was a piece of paper warning me to “cease and desist all bird related activities”. I was shaken, but neither stirred, nor deterred. This is important information that needs to be told. The second threat occurred a week later, when I woke one morning to see a severed horse head in my mailbox (I have an abnormally large mailbox). This really got me on edge, and I decided to keep watch for intruders. I finally caught sight of one of the stalkers, and got a decent photo. I developed it in my lab, (which if I may say, is quite elaborate), but a couple of weeks ago, my lab was burned to the ground, with said evidence in it. I was told in no uncertain terms that my life was in serious jeopardy if this blog was not shut down. Needless to say, this threat got my heart racing, and I had some serious thinking to do.

Well, my thinking is over, and I have made my decision. Stalk me if you must, threaten me, or even try to kill me. This information needs to be told. People need to know about the plight of birds, and if I don’t tell them, no one will. Someone has to step up, and that someone might as well be me. I apologize for my tardiness, and the lack of bird photos in this update, but obviously I have been in quite a serious situation as of late. That said, the stakes have been raised, and I’m not backing down - you can rest assured that your bird information will remain here on this blog as long as I live and breathe.

Bring it on. I’ve got the people behind me, and truth is on my side. People of the world, birds of the world, do not fret. I will not abandon you. And visitors, fear not, you will see some legitimate bird updates soon, assuming I am not dead.
