A crow in the yard, caws a message to his mates, breakfast has been served.

When something is going for free you can be assured the crowds will flock for a piece of the action. Tom

Precisely. Have you ever noticed that when shopping cashier's lanes are empty but the minute you're ready to check out, they are suddenly filled up with people. We called it the 'herd mentality'.

Thanks, Victor. Though crows seldom eat from a feeder, they are very gossipy creatures.

Good Haiku, Jerry. Our birds known when it time for birdseed. :-) I enjoyed you Haiku, my friend. Bill

The hummingbirds we had this summer were that way. One would flit about my head while I filled the feeders, then he would fly away and a few minutes later all 20 of them would show up.

Thanks for reading, my friend. That's what our poetry is all about. If we didn't share, they would just be words on paper.
