They land for free,
To chirp and feed.
Aren’t charged a price,
Free eats, indeed.
I think they’re beautiful,
Some of Nature’s best.
They split the seeds,
Leave quite a mess.
But, I don’t mind.
No, I don’t care.
I’ll pass the time,
With a long gaze and stare.
Sometimes they don’t,
Get along.
Not share the food,
Or the others’ song.
But, disappoint,
I’d say no.
They’re always putting on,
Quite a show.

- Comment from author about the poem: I really love this Woodpecker. The other birds seem afraid of him. But, they get on with eating, one a little nasty to the other over sharing. :)

Woodpecker is it? Colourful.
The 'mess' would not be much of a problem in that environment - looks fairly wild ....
Thanks DD! My backyard borders a very open area of farmland. I love watching the feeders and have placed them on the property line, so as to not be in the way while mowing the lawn. 🙂
subtle, humble and Beautiful!
