A bird has been sneaking into my house when I leave the back door open and pooping on the floor every day this week. Today I left the door open only a little to discourage this behavior while still letting cool air in, and this idiot (for whom I will use male pronouns for obvious reasons) came in and trapped himself because, despite going through the door opening to get in in the first place, he can't tell the difference between it and the glass. So I had to open the door wide for him, then herd him out of the corner under the spare kitchen chairs where he was hiding from me, then past the rest of the picture window to the giant gaping door opening, so he could leave.
This experience literally scared the shit out of him, so I had to go around with the steam cleaner all over the place cleaning up little piles of birdshit. The question, then, is: will he learn from this experience and tell all his friends how scary it was, or will he come back in the next chance he gets?
I will resolve this NO if there is no bird poop on my floor for the next week; I don't plan to change my habit of leaving the door open unless there is. If at any time in the next week there is bird poop, or a stupid magpie stuck in my living room even if by some miracle he does not poop, I will immediately resolve YES.

End of the last day. It's been quite cool, but to give them a sporting chance, I did keep the door open for a bit while I was upstairs. Barring surprises from hypothetical noctural magpies, this will resolve NO.
Cold and rainy again yesterday, left it closed. Today it's still wet out but I'm leaving the door open for a bit for science
Yesterday was cold and rainy, kept it closed; but the magpie was visibly lurking outside for the first time in a couple days.
Day three: it rained, so the door was open for less time, but still a couple hours. No magpies or poop.
Day two: again, door left open for a few hours and haven't seen any magpies. Somebody did eat the pastry crumbs on the patio, though.
@LasseRunst the magpie in the art looks too scared to come back. i consider this sufficient evidence of NO
Ah, cojones. I think another friend saw it the same way; he said he only just got the connection to quaternions the other day
@AustinColdon5m20 I reversed the sense of the title so it matches the resolution criteria in the description---hopefully you were betting on the latter.
