The Nest

With beaks wide open, There they wait. Maybe mom Or dad is late. Here I have a Birds' eye view. Watching them Is what I do. Suddenly, The mom alights To feed her babes With bird-sized bites. Or possibly It was the dad. In either case, The chicks were glad. And so was I To witness this, A treat, back home, That I would miss.

I never get to see the babies, possibly because all of my songbirds tend to be male. I can tell by their vibrant red colors - most of them are male cardinals. I wish I could see this!
