Bird Talk

 Bird Talk

Listen to the birds

They’re talking that talk…

Hungry owl wants to know “who cooks for you?”

Cardinal serenades his mate, “chur birdy birdy birdy birdy birdy burr,” then gives her a seed-in-a-kiss.

Soul-singing dove mourns his loneliness, “ooo-woo!-woo-woo.”

Robin’s song cheers the world, “cheerily cheerio cheerup.”

Canada goose enters, never quietly, with the honking of a ten-wheel semi.

Sandhill crane does his best pterodactyl impression, a grating, hollow bugling, “kdrdrdr.”

Love songs, here-I-am-aren’t-I-cool hits, songs of the soul, this-is-my-territory anthems.

Remind you of anyone? Human songsters, perhaps?
