I like this game, ‘put your right paw, take your right paw out, put your right paw in and shake it all about’

“Yea you need to fill this one it’s about empty ! ” A little bird told me to let you know OK….

Ha-Ha! They thought they could keep me out, wrong!
It’s All Bush’s Fault!
What? What’s that you say? This is bird seed? Oh, My bad… I thought it was Raccoon Feed! Hehe
Wow!! I thought they were sleeping!!!!
Well, at least it’s not the cookie jar!
No, no no… I was putting the seeds back into the feeder… Really!
No, REALLY! I was just checking to see if the bird feeders needed filling!
Excuse me, but do you have any Grey Poupon?
Too smart for his own good!
” Hey , I thought this was dinner and a movie! “
Thought I couldn’t get to it, huh?
I was getting it for you
Whoa! I’m on Candid Camera!
These are not the ‘droids you are looking for…..these are not the ‘droids you are looking for…
What? You mean this wasn’t put here for me?
Glad MY dinner isn’t in a cell like the one over there!
You left the top off, I fix it for you.
OOPS!! I was just sleepwalking, honest, I was I really was!!
Umm… tweet….tweet ???
I was just checking to see if you need more, honest!
AWW come on the birds said it was ok as long I come at night
Who told you where to find me?
I SWEAR, I was JUST tryin’ to put the TOP back on this bird feeder – HONEST!
I’m not the one on a diet and I wanted some REAL FOOD.
What do you mean, this isn’t the cookie jar????
Lights, camera, action!
BUSTED!!!
Oh come on!!! Do you know how hard it is to do this!!!! Now I’ll be working blind!!!!!
Next Animal Top Model Winner’s Pose.

In The “Steal” Of The Night
“Chirp … Chirp … Chirp … “
I told you yesterday…..leave me alone while I eat!!!
Excuse me?? Can you see I’m trying to eat my dinner here? How about a little privacy.
Uh…could I get a little help here?
Stop staring, I was JUST looking!
Curses foiled again! This is exactly what I had in my backyard & feeders last year. A pair of ophaned maurader baby raccoons raiding my feeders every night. Adorable but they ate all the seed & mealworms.

“Hey, no pictures! Can’t I even get a bite to eat without you paparazzi flashing a camera in my face?”
Thanks so much for the appetizer!
“You caught me red; er white handed!”
Busted!
Just checking to make sure those pesky squirells were staying out of it . Really I was..
Now wait a minute, I know this doesn’t look good…….
Oops! Caught with my hand in the cookie jar again!
Why oh why do they hang them so high?
I can’t believe you thought for one minute I was gonna eat this stuff !
Just a Quality Control check. Everything seems to be in order. Move along.
“Will you shut that light out already. The humans might see us!!!”
‘NO~ this IS NOT a cookie jar! So im in the clear!’
…and yes, Id climb right in there if i could!
Is this a joke or what? I don’t call this food!!
What, these aren’t for me? But I like them.
Wow! Thanks for the treat!
Quick, I’m going to need a refill!
O boy they got me, I am done
What’s the big deal? Just gettin’ a midnight snack!!
Hey, man, thanks for installing this pop-top snack dispenser!
It’s getting kind of low, when ya going to fill this thing back up?
eek! Caught red handed.
WOW!! Jackpot!!!
It might be squirrel proof, but they can’t fool me!
Like my tightrope balancing act? The feeder is just for balance, Honest.
I’m caught…what are you talking about….I’m only doing a security check to make sure the seeds are all still there…. : |
BUSTED!
Smile! You’re on Candid Camera!
Sunflower seeds.What sunflower seeds???? I wasn’t eating any sunflower seeds!!!!!!
If you think I’m sharing , your wrong
Now that you’re here, can you give me a hand?
Hey…it might be squirrel-proof, but that don’t mean nuttin’ ta me…hee hee hee!
Am I in trouble?
WHAT?
I’m your Quality Control Inspector!
Someone stole a seed from the birdie feed.
Who me?
Yes, you!
Couldn’t be.
Then who?
WHAT THIS IS FOR THE BIRDS, I AM A BIRD.
uuh, you can’t eat just one??
“Framed again!”
“You can’t eat just one!”
Hey Guys, Over here! I got this one open.
Uh oh, you didn’t see that, right? I have NO idea how my hand got stuck in that feeder…Mask? what mask? I’m innocent I tell you!
Hey Ma watch this. Are you watching?
Hey, officer! Who snitched on me this time?
Look!!! The bird feeder broke, I’m fixing it before they wake up.
What?! It said squirrel proof.. not racoon proof!!!
Damn nails, I knew I should have trimmed them before I left the nest.
Squirrel proof? yes! But not racoon proof! Ooooh! Weeee! Life is good.
Darn those motion sensor cams!
It’s low calorie…. Right?
Oh Oh, caught again with my hand in the cookie jar!
Who me? Nope, I didn’t see anything…
Who stole the cookie from the cookie jar? Who me? Couldn’t be!!!
Ha mom please take my picture, there my not be a next time.
Why, hello! Would you care to join me?
Hors d”oeuvres anyone!
Just doing a quality control check here.
I swear, I was just gonna have one pawful ! Honest!
Did I do that?
Watch it Buster
Sunflower seeds?! I thought it was cookies!!
You were not supposed to be at home !
“Heh heh hehhh”
” You did not see this !!!
Love these caption picutres .
1. Who is that masked man, outlaw or friend?
2. Nevermind me, I was just refilling the feeder.
3. It wasn’t me. I was about to call the police. Do you have a cell phone?
4. Excuse me, will my picture be in Birds & Blooms Magazine?
“Aw, c’mon Mom! We’re eating Birdseed again? Just wait, I’m going to turn into a bird! Whoever heard of a raccoon that flies south for the winter??” *grumbles*
Tonto, who is that masked man?
Look Ma! I TOLD u that Pole Dancing Class would pay off….
Yeah, and I suppose you never got caught with your hand in the cookie jar?!
No that’s a squirrel guard not a racoon guard, PLease do not get us confused.
Uh oh! Sir, is this what they call a hand in the cookie jar moment…?
Oops… busted!
And when you smile for the camera, you they’re gonna love you better!
These racoon feeders would work so much better for us if they were closer to the ground, with a nice flip top cover. By the way, a cob of corn goes well at this time of year.
Ya! So what, their sleeping.
Hay! watch out there, the farmer might be watching, turn out that light. Woooh!
HEY you didn’t say smile first!!!
Heeeeyyyyyyy! What the heck was that?
OH JEEEZZZ caught again!!!!

HEY!!! It was just my 1st handful– I promise!!!
Hey officer………..uh, uh, I was just fillinf up the bird feeder.

FREEZE let me see your hands NOW !!!!!
“Please don’t tell my mom!”
Hey, talk to the hand, I have no control over it!
Hey, talk to the hand, I have no control over it; see I’m not even looking it, it has a mind of its own…
Say cheese! oh, Hurry up and take my picture already. My arm is killing me. Once this is over, I have to take to my agent. I hate these late night photo shoots. A guys gotto get some sleep around here.
*gasp!* you caught me! at least i dont have red paws!
I couldn’t pass up this meal, the only thing is, what a way to get a meal around here without getting caught.
Hey,I am never going to see to get down now you blinded me with that light.
“Hey, they think they’ve outsmarted me, but I’ll show them who’s the brains here”!
I knew I could get into this contraption. Now should I try to climb in, or reach in for those treats.
They warned me crime doesn’t pay and they were right. I was caught!!!!!
HEY !TURN OFF THOSE LIGHTS
Don,t look at me they have coon guards, you must be new at this thanks.
“Yes, I’m guilty, but can you please look the other way for just 10 seconds?? THANKS!!!
BUSTED!!!
“You’ve been spotted”. NO I would of gotten away with the birdseed!
