Seasonal Confusion

Birds, as pets, are easily fooled.

They believe that summer is still here.

Turn up the heat, leave a light on,

They have no idea winter's near.

I have always wondered where the expression "bird brain" came from. Your descriptive work here may have explained that for me.

Many animals are clever also. especially in the Serengeti when they migrate. Others can detect eartquakes as their hearing is so much more acute than ours. Nice little Quatrain Francine >> James :)

Got a good chuckle out of this one, Francine. The birds think it's night when you put a cover over their cage. No wonder we call them birdbrains. LOL Love, Carolyn
