I don’t think Pauline counts as a wild bird.

"At its best, [the food] movement encourages us to “think like an ecosystem,” enabling us to see a place for ourselves connected to all others, for in ecological systems “there are no parts, only participants,” German physicist Hans Peter Duerr reminds us. With an “eco-mind” we can see through the productivist fixation that inexorably concentrates power, generating scarcity for some, no matter how much we produce. We’re freed from the premise of lack and the fear it feeds. Aligning food and farming with nature’s genius, we realize there’s more than enough for all."
--Frances Moore Lappé, "The Food Movement: Its Power and Possibilities," in The Nation, Oct. 3, 2011Is this so hard to believe?
"An atheist is just somebody who feels about Yahweh the way any decent Christian feels about Thor, or Ba'al, or The Golden Calf. As has been said before, we are all atheists about most of the gods that humanity has ever believed in. Some of us just go one god further," Richard Dawkins, 2002.

Hey! I’m from Michigan, too. Love your website and your philosophy.
Meg, yeah, the buggers have figured their way out of the batting cage. Though skinny Pauline (she’s a Leghorn) tended to fly right over.
Stacie: And you thought kids were funny! Woot: Poultry!
Buona sera, pittura! If ever you’re out thisaway, I will gladly give you some fresh farm eggs!
El:
Hey, I actually wrote a post last month called “The Dreaded Grocery Store Egg”. I usually buy farm fresh eggs and my source had none the whole month of February and I was bummed.. Eggs really are my favorite food. I get all my meat from Creswick! I have them listed on my site! Ciao!
aw, I need chickens…just gotta find someone who wants eggs since we only use a couple per week at most.
