AITJ for speaking through my bird feeder?

TL;DR Angry bird.

My Smart bird feeder has a feature where I can speak through my phone to an intercom.

In a cartoonish New York accent I said “Hey buddy! Over here!“

The bird looked pissed off before flying away and now I feel bad.

Oh man that last pic! Though all of them caught the shocked look that it got hearing you talk but nothing is there. It wasn't mad, it was creeped out.

I used to do this to scare the squirrels off my feeder. It doesn’t work anymore. Those squirrels are used to my disembodied voice.

u/DixiePiggy 🏆 Featured AITJ Storyteller 1d ago

I had a squirrel on it yesterday

u/pollywollydoodad 1d ago

I think it is fair to ask the squirrels to leave. It is your bird feeder, not a squirrel feeder.

u/Riklanim 1d ago

Squirrels would beg to differ… everything is a squirrel feeder to those dudes.

Pure entertainment and I'm here for it. That last photo is meme worthy.

Also, today I learned you can get smart bird feeders.

u/limplydirtyhoarding 1d ago

that last photo is pure betrayal, like you just violated a sacred trust between man and bird.

u/Nojudgement58 1d ago

I may or may not feed pigeons in front of my house. I see them waiting for me, and I go on the ring camera and say "babies!" all of a sudden, it's like an Alfred Hitchcock movie.. they eat and leave so I don't mind them.

u/midnight_allurement 6h ago

That might be the best side-eye I’ve ever seen from a bird.

u/Frolicking-Fox 1d ago

You broke the cardinal rule of bird feeders.

u/Misa7_2006 1d ago

That last pic would make an awesome meme! The first three are what a jaw drop looks like from a bird.
