Nah, I don’t need any prizes. I’d rather answer your question. What I have always loved most about birds is the variety of music they share with me! Nothing like waking up in the morning to the sweet tweets outside my window!
Nice, April. I gather you don’t have many mockingbird bachelors in your backyard… their gift of song often surpasses the recipient’s patience!
What I love most about birds is that they are instant pain relief. No matter what is going on around or inside me, a glance at a bird – any bird – and I am at peace with the world again.
Priceless.
