A 16-year-old girl's display of her special birthday cake received an unexpected surprise when this blog's well fed Curlews sensed there was something good to be eaten , so gathered at the back door and demanded to come in . Upon entry,they sang happy birthday , were show the cake , and then told to get out and look for worms and insects .
They were also reprimanded for marching into the blog's cluttered den several days previously and complaining about the lateness of the afternoon feed, which they like to be spot on 4pm, otherwise they peck at doors , squawk .
