We have put out a lot of seed lately trying to get more grass to grow. We have also had a time with the birds getting out there and eating it. Dalton got the bright idea that he was going to make a trap and get the birds. If you look closely he has a measuring tape of Denny's out there along with his box and a roll of tape and some string.
Next Dalton went in to the kitchen and got out a hamburger bun, took it to the garage and put some grass seed on it and then went back out and gathered some dead (and a few still moving) June bugs and this was the bait to catch the birds. I explained to him that birds don't have thumbs and would not be able to pick up the sandwich. He then informed me that I was stupid cause he knew that birds didn't have thumbs and that they would peck at the sandwich. Silly me to think otherwise!
Here is what the trap looked like with some other bait he added to it before he put the sandwich in.
He was such a happy camper over his trap. Unfortunately when mom took the dogs out to potty Roscoe went over and ate the sandwich!!! ewwwwwwwwwwww and crunchy!

What a smart kid. Pretty amazing he could put that together like that.
