sweet song

sparrows are scared. like there is something out to get them. they hop around in pairs and will visit you if you are eating something worth their while. they will share whatever crumbs miss your mouth and fall to the ground.

pigeons are a little braver. marching around like they are important. they fight over food and gather in twos and threes. not interested in crumbs, just the bigger morsels that seem a bit more sustaining.

crows are the cream of the crop. they linger in solitude. but gather when food is abundant. they stride with a crooked gait and are known and seen to be very intelligent. mischievously stealing food from comrades but also calling for friends when there is plenty.

ive made friends with the birds at work. they know i am always up for dropping a little too much of my breakfast upon the sidewalk.
