Pigeon Tart, you have captured the blue Jay so creatively. They enjoy upstaging all the other birds within their verdant stage presence. Congratulations ~ Sonia

Bird obsessed as I am, I had the hardest time not calling it Corvid 19. Finally trained ;), Thank you John! xomo

what you can do with a blue bird, other than as mascot (Baseball ... some US team puts BLUEJAYS to flight). sorry, couldn't resist ... shalom/ Peace /STARDUST and then some

Like Ilene below me ... I, too, had no idea what "corvid" meant ... I'll try and add that to my word knowledge (like an overstuffed suitcase, it's prone to pop out, however)

Maureen Mcgreavy
Date: 5/9/2020 10:08:00 PM

I have limited space myself. ;),

Timothy Hicks

'screaming blue murder' what a killer (no pun intended) line. We call them "songbirds" as if they are always (naturally) melodious ... I think some of these birds could easily join a grunge rock band. Lol.

Maureen Mcgreavy
Date: 5/9/2020 10:06:00 PM

Totally grunge! Thought you might have gone with death metal though ;), No hope for a win, nowhere near my ku-est ku, but my muse was dying for this prompt. xomo

Crows sing about as well as I do, and that's not good. Best wishes Maureen...

Maureen Mcgreavy

Well, even crows can render some tender tones, just don't plug in the mic ;), Thank you Charlie, xomo

Thank you Panagiota. Songbirds are protected, but for some, you need ear protection! ;), xomo!

this is great, maureen! i also learned something - didn't know what corvid meant (i actually thought it had something to do with the virus) but google enlightened me...

Birder brain... I had the hardest time NOT saying corvid-19, it was murder ;D, Thankya! xomo
