Our neighbor has some guinea fowl. Occasionally they will wander into our yard. I don't mind and normally just leave them be. However, they occasionally wander too close to the road and I worry they will get hit, so I will go outside and shoo them back home.
One day they were in our yard and getting close to the road, so I told Julia we were going to go out and shoo the birds back to their house. She eagerly came with me and quickly started shooing the birds back to the neighbor's. She thought this was great fun.
The last two weeks the birds have been in our yard frequently. Every time Julia sees them, she goes running for the door saying "We have to shoo the birds!". We will go out and she will chase the birds around the yard until they head back home, yelling "SHOO, SHOO" the entire time.
I talked to the neighbor this weekend when he came up to chase the birds back home again. He apologized for the birds being in our yard. I told him that I did not mind and actually it is the highlight of Julia's day to have to shoo them back home. (He has a house/pen for the birds, they just like our yard for some reason.)
