Blackbird

Being a soft hearted sort of guy I have been feeding this blackbird, or one of his friends, for a long time.  Unfortunately he thinks that he is the boss and expects me to feed him all day.  When I get up he is sitting on the window sill; when I open the back door, he is sitting on the path; and so it continues throughout the day.  Even when I go away, upon my return he is waiting for me sitting on the gate post.
