Such a lovely tribute to your neighbors. I love my urban bird friends. The crows and I have a morning chat. Cardinals follow me. Sparrows continue dirt bathing if I make kissing sounds. Pigeons will allow me to pick them up and move them from the street. And the sweet robins...
Thank you, Rena. That is so cute about the sparrows. And the pigeons! It is special when we connect with other creatures on levels beyond words. I'm lucky to have many birds in my garden, too.
I used to think that magpies had gotten a bad rap after I read an interview with Jimmy Page in which he said that “some thieving magpie” had stolen one of his favorite guitars and taken it back to his nest. But after learning that one of these dirty birds considered stealing a patch of fur from your cat I decided that the reputation is well deserved. I’m sure glad that bird, feline, fur, nest and Alia are all doing well. Thank you for sharing your keen powers of observation and your love for all the creatures around your neck of the woods. A great gift you have there, and your listeners and readers are all the better off for it. I know I am. With much gratitude, respect and love—Rafael.
Thank you, Rafael. They can be terrors this time of year. There is one that lives along the bike path into town and dive bombs us (and everybody else) every time we ride past, there and back! It only ever pecked me once though. It doesn't bother me too much. I figure I'm wearing a helmet anyway 😂
