I thought about it and figured they could never light them although my 5 yr old does a pretty good job
That would make alot of sense as our 5 yr old wears alot of red (Bucs fan) and he use to try to get her to step on a stick when I wasnt around (according to his brothers). She probably saw this as him poking at her, thereby scaring her.
That is what really gets to me, the kids dont understand how hard I work to make them friendly, tame birds. So when they do stupid things like that, not knowing better of course, it sets me and the birds back. I have banned them from getting 'arms distance' to them when I am not in the room. Considering I adopted this football team of youngens, I would suggest they behave or outtie! (So kidding)

By adopted I mean they are my husband's kids with an absent mother. Not adopted off the street, although I have room for a few more should I run across one. After 4, what is 1...2...10 more gonna matter? Only one is mine... the 17 yr old. However, as my husband took my son to raise, I too accepted his as my own and we dont use the word 'step' in this house. They consider themselves brothers and refer to eachother as such. Combining families can be an awkward, hard experience but God has blessed us with having all of our boys loving eachother. No jealousy on anyone's part.
Ok, I have no idea how I got off birds. So I'll close hehe.
