Paradise Lost?
Where I live is an eden. I have little cottontail bunnies roaming around. Squirrels hopping over my feet as I rest on a chair near the pool. Robins who just left the nest on our deck a month ago chirping on our fence. Grackles grabbing drinks of water from our pool when it is unattended. And that my friends is the beautiful fantasy. The reality? Cottontails are eating our garden. Squirrels run around on our roof and make all kinds of racket. Robins who like to chirp at your window just before dawn. Grackles who crap in your pool. I tend to lean towards the reality most times.

I hear ya. Our yard is a little Eden in the city, but damn are those birds loud! As beautiful as they are, I really want to fuck them up when they start at sunrise...but these days I'm usually up anyway.
I guess it's all about finding the ideal situation each species can live with.
