About a week ago we had plums starting to ripen on our tree, but as soon as they do the birds are there to peck them to pieces. I was expressing my frustration and Jonah said, "I know Mom! We can build a trap for the birds." And this was the idea he came up with.
He wanted to fake out the birds by building a nest with Easter grass and eggs that would surely lure the birds in at which point we'd cover them up with a towel and take them prisoners. He spent a couple of days watching and waiting for his contraption to work. He mentioned that one did get close. I love the way his mind works. Priceless.

Ha ha ha! Go Jonah! Please don't tell him about the birds on our deck who built a nest. I hosed it. Cruel, huh?
