Punked by a Pigeon

So I was gone for like 2 days and in that short amount of time, a pigeon decided that the herb garden on my balcony might be a great nesting place. My herb garden - the one that I grew from seedlings...the one that I come home and talk to almost everyday - the one that after being gone two days, I went out in the dark to check on it. As soon as opened the patio door, it flew away and to my horror I saw a plethora of twigs right on top of what used to be my cilantro. The oregano had been sprayed with a nice dusting of bird crap. The only thing remotely in tact is the basil. I hate birds....
