Starling

Here is a attractive bird that doesn't belong here. They are intruders in the USA. They push out other species of birds.

These birds remind me of addictions and bullies in my life. How do we get rid of them? Unlike the birds, we can take authority over opposition in our life by the blood of Jesus. Look to Jesus for help.

Psalm 25:15 "My eyes are continually toward the Lord,
For He will pluck my feet out of the net."

Who Eats Hedge Apples?

Deer, horses, squirrels and cows will eat hedge apples. It is reported that deer relish eating them. We use them to repel crickets in our basement. Science reports that the natural compounds that repel insects are too low to be effective.

I definitely would not want to be under one when they fall.

Close up photo from last year. Hedge apples grow on Osage Orange trees.

Palm 40:5 "Many, O LORD my God, are the wonders which You have done, And Your thoughts toward us; There is none to compare with You. If I would declare and speak of them, They would be too numerous to count."
