Ever since he was little, Will has wanted to catch a bird. Which I think is funny, because mom has told me that I used to try to sneak up on birds in the yard. It must be genetic! : ) Well, Jerry told Will once that he had made a trap and caught a bird in a box. Will became obsessed after that with making a bird trap. He sat forever watching for a bird to take the bait and wander under his box so he could pull the string, releasing the stick from the edge of the box, and capture the bird. Unfortunately, our yard had very few birds, and those were only the fastest and smartest ones thanks to our efficient small mammal, reptile, and bird eliminator (a.k.a. Skippy)! Skippy also hindered Will's efforts because in his estimation a string dangling across the back yard couldn't be anything except a toy just for him!
