wild life

from woodpeckers and sparrows
to starlings and warblers
all get along

at the feeders
but for
the

feathered equivalent of a
sociopath called
a cannibal

the bluejay
that eats
alone

we're like ants always
at war with each
other

So what is this about the blue jay? Yes, this is so true. Especially in these days. I wish our world were not so divided.
