I watched the birds in my garden today
Each holding their own right of space
searching and gathering for the biggest beak filled fuel to feed their young
I'm.amused at the sparrows how quickly they empty the feeder of pellets of which I fill.each morning
The blackbird will hop two feet together has his own little dance to take
across the lawn towards spillage under trees and shrubs shuffling scraping and choosing 4 worms at once with a quick look left to right and off he flies to his nest near by.
Big Bella or bob the lost pigeon thats took itself to stay upon my roof waiting watching as I crumble some bread all beady eyed he flops beside me as if to say he knows I wont let him go without not because I want him to stay but because who else will care .
He knows I've gave up shooing and making crazy arms in the air.
A drink of water and a piece of food is all
He asks of me.
Who cares but I.

Great sentiment. Giving to our wildlife when we humans are doing so much damage. They - and all wildlife - need all the help each of us can offer.
Amazing to have a trusting relationship with a wild bird. Though i know jackdaws can be very friendly (wish their squawk was kinder on the ears though).
Thanks I suppose since covid has squished and squashed us all into our homes looking out has occupied us more lately watching more listening more replacing The constant doing more although slowly we are now able to be doing more but I hope with care more understanding towards our planet.😊
Good words rosie, I too feed the birds in my garden and it is wonderful to see them.
