In reality it is not very cool at all. They get up there by climbing trees and jumping/walking onto your roof. If you are in bed in the quiet of the night and you hear the pitter patter of little feet, it is not a premonition of more children soon to arrive; it is rats. They have these little buggers in Seattle, don't they?

I could also tell you about the war I waged with a woodpecker who decided the west side of my house was where he wanted to build a home. It is an on-going battle in which I currently have the upper hand, but he'll be back, I have no doubt that he will be back.
