Birdy Eat It

One day we were eating crackers at the park and Stan B dropped one. I told him to leave it on the ground and that a birdy would eat it. That stuck with him. Now when any food drops on the ground he says, "Birdy eat it." He even started throwing food on the ground while saying, "Birdy eat it." I had to explain to him the difference between accidentally dropping food and feeding the birds purposely. There are so many fruit trees around with a lot of fallen fruit...he would want to collect them all, but many of the fruit would have holes or appear to have been partially eaten. I would tell him not to pick them up and then he would say, "Birdy eat it." I told him that it is possible that birds could eat them but perhaps an animal like a raccoon may scavenge the fruit on the ground. Then he would start saying, "Rackun eat it." Ha.
