Next, let me introduce the characters.

Human #1 - male, early 50's, 210 pounds. Mr. Frugal. Not cheap, just careful. When he is ready to spend his bucks, he wants value. Which includes determining quality vs investment, etc. Also spending often is precluded by repeated price and model comparisons. Multiple degrees, BA, LBA, MBA, PhD. Currently university professor.

Human #2 - female, late 40's, 130 pounds. Mrs. I'll let him do the shopping for the big stuff, cuz then we'll save enough for that nice cottage we've been dreaming about. BA degree, Anthropology. Currently employed in health promotion.

Birds #1-a gazillion - male, female, juveniles. Size varies, but most probably weigh less than 4 oz. Migratory and nesting. Over 30 varieties, including warblers, finches, chickadees, sparrows, grosbeaks, cardinals, blackbirds, hummingbirds, oriolles, hawks, woodpeckers and more (see why we want to encourage them?)

Squirrels #1-20 - male, female, juvenile; what's a squirrel weigh, maybe 18 oz? Black, red, and blonde (yes, blonde) and every morph in between. As intelligent as raccoons. Quickly find solutions to problems. Bird seed thieves and thieves in training. Fugitives. Like to chase each other and cuss out human #1.
