Waking Up To the Birds

There's a Nuthatch knocking on my door, Politely asking me for more, And Chickadees chirping por favor. The Blue Jays are squawking all out war, A Crow just told me to do my chore; There's a ruckus brewing I can't ignore. The feeder is empty. The Birds implore... I am awakened by my snore. Is that somebody at my door? 02.19.19 Songbirds Poetry Contest Sponsored by Tania Kitchin

I awake to 2 macaws every morning and an Australian budgie. In my house. When I go outside birds galore. What a cute poem.

Birds of a feather... I wake up to three doves and a finch, in my bedroom ;) Thank you Kelli! xomo

Come to Hawai'i where you can be awakened in the middle of the night by crowing cocks (Junglefowl that is), and suddenly your local birds will be music to your ears! Aloha! Rico
