People Watching
To birds, birdwatching must really seem like an incredibly strange hobby. I mean, if you did what birdwatchers do to people, you’d be arrested as a stalker. But if you do it to animals, it’s fun and...

Dirty
Seriously, if they got all the birds together that eat bugs, and just ate all the bugs that Josh is attracting, not only would they have easy access to food but Josh wouldn’t be as bothered by bugs....

Birdhouses
This is another example, along with the birdbath, of people ostensibly making things for birds, when really they are making them for themselves. We want a cute thing for the birds to live in, while...

Ladders
Birds don’t need ladders. Some birds climb ladders, though that’s mainly when we put them in cages. You wouldn’t put a bird in a cage and then give it a birdhouse, would you? No, you wouldn’t,...

Architect
This is probably the saddest strip I’ve ever written. That’s okay, of course, because Lewis is in it. It’s always sad when Lewis is in it, unfortunately. That’s why he’s not in it that often. Not...

Dreams
For those who were wondering, those are Darryl and Edna’s kids. Before anyone asks what their names are, it’s a mystery (perhaps even to me). For those who weren’t wondering and who weren’t going to...

Trapped
I haven’t done a sight gag in a while. I really should do them more often. Josh should be caught in things more often. Although he looks perturbed, I think he’s handling it well. If you like this...

Cute
Seriously, next time you are tempted to post a cat or dog picture on Facebook or Twitter, don’t do it. Post a bird instead. Not only are birds cuter, they are more articulate, so the caption won’t...

Diet
It’s true. Bird seed is gluten free. In fact, I’ve read that it’s been recommended for people who for no real reason are on gluten free diets or for people who actually have celiac disease. Millet,...

Nutrition
Hummingbirds don’t only eat flower nectar and whatever kind of sugar mixture people put into their hummingbird feeders. They also enjoy small insects. They do need protein in order to power their...

Gardening
We don’t have an actual bird feeder at our apartment. My wife just spreads out some birdseeds onto our tiny “porch” for the birds. There were some sunflower seeds in the last mix that was put out, and...

Reading
You know, Lewis is smart, because of course crows are very intelligent birds, but sometimes he’s not quite as smart as we would hope he would be. I find the same thing of myself sometimes. I figure...

Rain protection
I wonder what else that cap can do. First of all, it is made of high carbon surgical stainless steel. Second of all, it’s robotic and the bill is obviously wide enough to keep a crow dry. Thirdly, It...

Summer heat
It’s unfortunate, but summer heat does make one sluggish. One has to wonder if the bugs are sluggish as well, and if so why Floyd would have such difficulty catching them. The only answer is that the...

Names
My wife has this problem. Her name is Alice. For some reason, people always think her name is Allison, even when she tells them that her name is Alice, as if they’ve never heard the name Alice before....

Worm stories
Okay, okay, before anybody jumps on me about continuity problems, I know that Terry has previously said that he doesn’t like eating worms. I’ll just fix it by saying that Terry probably grew to enjoy...

Gramps’ Name
My great-grandfather’s second middle name was Gornelius. He only had four names, not seven like Gramps has. Gramps seems to have a strange mixture of Latin and Irish names. Does this give us any...

Gramps’ Other Name
You ever meet somebody that you could never imagine being younger than they are? Then you see a photo of them from when they were much younger and you think they probably took it from someone else and...

Parachutes
Darryl has previously been worried about his children plopping on the ground when he teaches them to fly. Lewis told him not to worry, but he still worried anyway. Worry is a mother of invention...
