Don't you lose suction when the feathers choke the fans up?

Yes, but the squawking is the worst as I suck the birds up . That's what they get for not eating the moths like normal birds! The NFBSKing moths are sitting RIGHT ON YOUR PERCH! Do your duty, featherbrains!

And every time I think I've got most of the months, about 10 materialize seemingly out of nowhere. They must be hiding somewhere and breeding like crazy. Gotta vacuum about twice a day to keep up with them. Diiiieeee.....

Be nice to spiders (as the kids book says). Our mailbox was getting overrun with earwigs for some reason about two weeks ago. A spider set up shop in the back of the mailbox. No more earwigs, just pieces of earwig carcasses and one humongously fat spider hanging in the back. I swear that when I open my mailbox, I hear a giant belch.

You're welcome, Mr. Spider.

I had that book!

My dad never killed Daddy Longlegs or allowed them to be killed, and the general rule in our house was that any spider that stayed up toward the top of the wall was to be left alone.

Daddy long legs? Maybe. Except that I know a cat that would tear the place apart trying to reach it. However, I live close to a greenbelt and I've seen WAY too many nasty brown recluse spider bites around here. Spiders get the crush in my house.
