songbirds by default

              corvids   in indigo suits 

              screaming blue murder

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

Thank you Sonia! That is so well said, "upstaging" is exactly what they do. ;), xomo

Hi Mo, my google search was trying ever so hard to take me to "Covid", haha! Great middle line, great haiku, congrats on your win, my friend ~ John

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 Pigeon Tart

May 9, 2020 at 10:08 PM

I have limited space myself. ;),

Timothy Hicks

May 9, 2020 at 5:43 PM

'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 Pigeon Tart

May 9, 2020 at 10:06 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 Pigeon Tart

May 9, 2020 at 4:50 PM

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

Panagiota Romios

Excellent haiku... Panagiota xoxo

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart

May 9, 2020 at 4:35 PM

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...

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart

May 9, 2020 at 4:18 PM

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