With the birds

Oh, how I love those singing ones! I can no longer see them but I can surely hear them and it really helps when I have people around me to describe what they are doing.

I often help my mom to feed them; my part of this comes when I cut up the bread and stand there and listen as she goes out to the trough and puts in the food for them. They are always so happy each time she gives them food and believe it or not, whenever she does not come out at a certain time to put food for them, they actually start to call to her.

Birds are such a joy to be around. Yes, they are timid as they do not really come too close to you but just the thought of them not too far away is enough for me. I can still picture them: birds of all colors, shapes, and sizes. They are grateful for whatever you give to them, they never say no, and they are always happy. They are smart, wonderful friends, and never complain.
