For Finches

For Finches

 

Only the strong survive

In mother nature hard

Only the fittest eat

While the others starve

 

And rarely do the weak

Find themselves OK

As they live their lives

In nature come-what-may

 

Species are not the same

And must search for their niche

Where they are selected

At being better fit

 

Some have advantage

With special beaks for seeds

And they continue

And have some progeny

 

Nature is always changing

And variation occurs

Whether with a finch

Or any other bird

    Cute, but these nice birdies wont evolve into anything but snacks if those pesky cats get a hold of them!

      That's true, da.

    • Goldfinch60

      We have many goldfinches visit our garden to feed. They cost a fortune to feed but are worth it

        Yes, Goldfinch. Feeding birds can be expensive: I put sunflower seeds out for some, feed the hummingbirds sugar water, and treat woodpeckers with suet. Very costly.

          I got the deeper meaning of the poem.
          lots of people eat in soup kitchens.
          while the lions in Africa are
          eating like kings.
