The Fledgling
The birdhouse in my backyard has been growing gradually louder and louder. I've been watching all the activity of the adults flying back and forth. A day ago I noticed a small head poking out. Sure looks almost as large as the adults I thought to myself.
Hey dudes where's the food:
I said where's the food?!?:
Fledgling contemplating, "Geezus it's getting awfully hot in here. Must I do everything myself?!?"
The next morning it seemed strangely quiet around the backyard. I noticed an odd decoration on the birdhouse door.
All you can eat buffet closed sign:
I saw a pair of adult birds out in the yard. I can almost imagine the conversation.
"What an exhausting trial by fire."
"Our first fledgling how glorious."
Male chirping, "Oh thank God and Greyhound they're gone..."
"Oh, your going to miss the little one, I just know it."
Pictures were taken by me with my Samsung Galaxy S22. Fictional story and any resemblance to actual birds is purely coincidental.
