Different Shades of Purple

Far away at the break of day, the Peacock spreads his beautiful feathers. While the Purple House Finch Feeds its young from my feeder To him life is a cinch Until the cat comes as a reader Of those birds, which he is a seeker The Mocking Bird sings Because hidden with nest_eggs Escapes fast cat's swings For nest rest in rose trellis Clever this fellow and mean Purple Barn Swallow rises high Above this stress greater than the rest Contest:For(Four)Beautiful Birds Sponsor:Constance La France Written by: Sara Kendrick Date: April 29, 2011

Hi Sara The bird color purple and the human color purple may have different meanings but in the end they probably correlate to stress with or without. Cheers please read movie i thought you might like it.
