Tiny Blue Bird

I am just a cute little bird living my life amongst the branches of the trees in your yard. On days when the sun shines, you may hear my pretty song as I twitter excitedly but on days when the clouds gather or the rain falls you may hear me squawk in such a raucous voice that you would not believe I could produce such a sound.

Hello, hello, tiny blue bird here again. Is that a tasty bit of fruit you are holding? I suppose it is for me. Why else would you stand under my tree holding fruit? You would not tease me; no, I am sure you are not the type to do that. Thank you for thinking of me out here.

I know, I am so cute, and I am even cuter when my feathers are all fluffed up. What am I doing? So, you noticed the gleam in my eye. Yes, I must confess I have my eye on that hair ribbon your neighbour is wearing in their hair. It would make the perfect addition to my nest, a spot of colour. I will be so quick, your neighbour will never know I was the one.

Your pet becomes an expert at finding its own food!

Birdsong is as old as time. Birds sing to announce their ownership of territory, to find a mate, or just for the joy of living. Of course they all sing completely different tunes, but all birds understand the nuances of other bird’s songs, even though they may sound entirely different.

There is a natural order of things. Little tweeting birds hear one another in the hedges; hawks scream in the skies; blackbirds warble across the fields. And they ignore other species.

But when the wrens first saw a microphone and realised they could make themselves heard by everybird everywhere, that changed all the rules. Suddenly it wasn’t good enough to have just the right song for your environment; you had to scream just to be heard over the wrens!

Peace could only be achieved by giving everybird a microphone, but only in designated places. Then with everybird having an equal chance to be heard, competitive interspecies birdsong began. And the fields and skies went back to the natural order of things.
