Crazy Cardinal

Christina8

The crazy cardinal pecks

at my window each morn',

Hoping to garner attention

Or maybe he is forlorn

 

They say what he really sees

is a reflection of him--his enemy

So day after day he does this

Doomed to this nonsense--never free

 

What do you see in the mirror?

A friend, or an enemy, like the bird?

Some people drag on about

themselves, saying hurtful words

 

So this crazy cardinal has

been nothing short of a lesson

Be good to yourself and

in short, count your blessings!

    I have friend who has a robin pecking at his window if there are no mealworms put out for it.

    • Christina8

      Yes they are both curious birds. Thanks, Andy!

      Really entertaining read again. May i suggest that you place a small bird sized picture of another bird in his favourite pecking place and await his reaction. You may find yourself having several differing pictures and taking control of his varied reactions... playing with nature. Fun.

        Thanks, dusk. I'll try that. I've tried putting stuffed cardinals in the window and that didn't work, along with other things. Thanks for your input!

        This piece is somewhat funny. I have a Woody-the-wood that is always tapping on my window shutters.
        Keep typing.

            Although not indigenous to the UK a friend filmed one in her garden a few weeks ago - must have been an escapee and hope it is okay. Great write dear Christina.

                HOLA CHRISTINA ~ como estes ahora ? Mirror Mirror on the Wall ? It is true ~ a bird (not familiar with mirrors) will regard hs own reflection ~ as a RIVAL ! Some people are like that ! When I look in the mirror ~ I always see a happy person I can trust ~ AMEN. Please check my FUSION ~ WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY ? On our Mirrors in the washrooms at Work we have written ~ THIS PERSON IS RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR SAFETY !
                There is a lesson there ! I was shocked to read "I used to like CARDINALS !" Surely they're still your favourite BIRD ???? Abrazos y Besos ~ BRIAN ~ Please dont forget the FUSION ! ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿงก
