Swifter than their feathered brethren – they
welcome the signs of a changing breeze
it means they’ll be off with their cousins the swallows
for some warm air , seeds and sunshine, whilst
taking occasional naps under leafy sunshades
Some might say they float in the air
when these birds have their wings stretched out
imminent signs of departure – remote
for they’ll need to fill their bellies
to have the energy to fly towards the warm sun

I can’t even imagine how the little the birds eat that could sustain them for even a short flight!

I’ve actually seen it – there’s two resident families of birds in the garden….and they eat till they drop – though they also feed their chicks!

I’m weening my birds off the seed for a few months. It will give the squirrels some time to run around and work off all the seeds they ate out of my feeders.
