Little birds learn a lot
from their dear old mum and dad
while they are growing up
What lives around them
their neighbours and the dangers
of a predator
Gaining the skills of
falling with style
while flapping their wings
Finding the right seeds
and avoiding the bad berries
and a tummy ache
collecting dropped twigs
is perfect preparation
for building work
So when the chicks fledge
they pick sticks of their choosing
and trees in their style
to return with their chicks
to visit nanna and grandad
and say “hello there grampa!”
