(A Tale in 3 Haiku)
Scene 1:
Two birds on a flex,
claiming right of perch to swing,
aiming claws and kicks.
Scene 2:
Wise bird interferes,
why behave like human beings,
show thy gift not guile.
Scene 3:
Chastised birds make peace,
what’s with these two asks a fourth,
“the bane of mankind!”

All pictures here, as well as on Insta, since the last two months are from my bedroom window – as far as I can stretch to see what the birds are up to in the society garden and thereabouts! 😄
