Birds, birds, birds!



You would not IMAGINE how much noise the birds can make in my front yard.
On the north side of our secret garden, have one thorn bush and it is FULL of birds.
I try counting, and sometimes get to 100--but as they keep moving around, I am certain to be recounting.
They're not always making noise.
They must have prayer time. They are all silent for that.
During their etiquette lessons, they sing different tunes one at a time. That is the most enjoyable eavesdropping.
Music practice is quite obnoxious, the clusters they produce are quite alarming.
They should hire me.
They also have mealtime. That is their squealiest time.
Sometimes they migrate up into the taller trees around our neighbors'.
but once they see someone coming, they all swoop down into the thorn bush!
If they hear me singing and realize that it's just me in time, they just stay there.
Just walk past the secret garden sometime-- you'll see.
