Watch Out For Those Buzzards!

Once upon a time there was a farmer down in south Georgia who
kept chickens. He didn’t keep very many, in fact, he only kept
four or five hens and one very lucky rooster. They were a very
happy little family of chickens, they lived in a nice coup that
many envied, they had more than enough to eat and drink, and
they all enjoyed each other’s company immensely. And so it was
for many, many years.

One day the hens and rooster were standing about talking, and
one of the hens noted just how fortunate they were to live in
such splendid conditions. She also noted that a very lonely old
buzzard had recently spoken to her, and that she felt very sorry
for her.

“Why would you feel sorry for a withered, craggy old
she-buzzard?” one of the other hens asked.

“Because,” the caring hen noted, “she’s a dried-up dismal old
thing, even her feathers and beak look like they’re dyed, and
she loves our coup more than anything in the world. She talks
about it all the time, in fact, I can just see in her eyes the
immense love she possesses for our home here. In fact, because
of that, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking. We have more than
enough to eat and drink, we have plenty of living space,
therefore I think we should invite the lonely old buzzard to
live amongst us. She’ll be happy and we’ll have done a good
thing.” Without giving it so much as a second thought, the hens
and the rooster happily agreed to invite the buzzard to live
amongst them.

Problems began the moment the shrewish old buzzard entered the
pen. She immediately took a liking to the rooster, and he,
abandoning all logic and reason, took a casual liking to her.
They could be seen clucking and squawking away at almost all
hours of the day or night, and they appeared to be becoming
quite close. Naturally, this concerned all of the hens, but they
were never ones to interfere in each other’s lives, so they left
the mismatched two to coo and wink at each other. This did not
turn out to be the best way of handling the situation. Soon, the
old buzzard began wanting more and more of the rooster’s time.
He quickly started backing away, as he loved time with his hens
and had no intention of giving up his friendships with any of
them. He also disliked the fact that the old buzzard would
squawk about him and their personal business to anyone that
would listen, especially the unusual bird that flew overhead
from time to time, the mysterious left-winged Macaw. Finally,
the rooster got so tired of her squawking that he totally lost
interest in the dyed up old buzzard, first he grew silent when
in her company, then he finally bid her to leave the pen.

The wicked old buzzard got very upset at this, and immediately
flew about the gilded coup, destroying everything that she
possibly could. She fouled the water so that none of the
chickens could drink it, and she destroyed every nest that she
possibly could. Finally, with their patience at a collective
end, the hens took charge and deposited the cranky old
she-buzzard outside of the coup, and sealed it so that she could
never return. The chickens had a very hard time restoring their
coup to its former status. Some things had to be tossed away,
some were restored, and some are still being attended to as I
scribe the words of this story. And what happened to the
miserable old buzzard? Well, she finally started up a little
nest of her own way down in the deep, dark woods, far, far away
from everyone. She never found another rooster, no hens would
play with her, and she found herself spending most all of her
time with two aged parrots and one puffed-up goonie bird. They
now spend their lives squawking away endlessly in the deep woods
where no one ever hears them, no one wants to hear them, and the
most important item of discussion they endeavor each day is what
the rooster and hens might be up to.

The morals of this story? Really, they’re quite simple. If you
want happy, contented chickens, keep misery-ridden old buzzards
out of the hen house. If you want to stay a happy rooster, keep
away from old buzzards altogether. Just remember that the very
worst crap from the coup will always be far, far sweeter than
anything a moldy old buzzard can lay before you…
