Possible Solution

Had an extremely rude awakening on the compost heap. Was cogitating quietly about the M Problem when unbeknownst to Me F2 arrived. A most sudden and unpleasant clutter behind Myself which made Me jump. High. And came back down on a loose handful of garden clippings which slid to the bottom. Wretched birds wanted to rootle around and wouldn't (sensibly) whilst I was there. Wasn't worth arguing with the pair of them, especially as had just about decided on a solution to the M Problem, so left. In a stately and highly dignified manner. (Removed the grass cuttings when I was out of sight.)

Problem:
M appears to stare but is only trying to see Us. This must be miserable for it. And is making Us uncomfortable.

Solution:
It is up to Us to show We are friendly.
We all need to advertise Our presence by making small welcoming noises so M knows it is with Friends.
This will put it into a contented frame of mind so it will no longer need to stare. And We will all be able to relax again.

Shall go practise such noises and try them out later today.
