Morning Serenade

Moses and Baby Blue are chattering. It's how we start our day. In the early hours of the morn they begin with the sun's first ray. They are my early risers of the seven birds residing here and when they first wake up they chatter loud and clear. The canaries are the lazy ones, taking longer to make noise but an hour after the budgies start you'll hear the singing of the boys. The finch is just so quiet. He rarely makes a sound. You'd never hear him anyway with the other noisy birds around. I've no need for a radio and no need for T.V. With my morning coffee 'bird music' serenades me.

There is little that is sweeter than birdsong... they are all so different, and delight with their beautiful music! I especially love your final verse. Best wishes, Keith

Some folks have radios and TVs on all the time. How much nicer to listen to "Bird Music," Francine! Love the way you described each of your birds. Guess the finch is into solitude. LOL Love, Carolyn

Oh how lovely. I have a cockatiel and can appreciate the songs. Molly my bird chirps and lets me know when someone is coming long before they come in the house. She is my watchbird. Well done. Lee
