Where Do You Like To Live?

I’ve already said how much I like living in the country, it’s just wonderful.

And I love birds too, and one of the best things about living in the country is the birds that you get.

Out here there are just so many birds. Dozens of birds. It must be because they like the trees around me because there’s always lots of birds and they sit in the branches of the trees and pick off the pods with  their beaks and hold them in their claws and eat them one by one slowly but surely.

I love birds but it is a shame to see them damage all my trees, and they do damage them breaking all the bits off. If you look under the tree you can see all the tree lying there. Well not all of it but a lot, there’s broken tree all around, and the trees don’t like it.

They’re lovely parrots, and parrots have strong beaks so they can do all this. But on the positive side they have great colors and they look great. I get them sitting around the veranda that goes around my house, they sit on the railings and look at me inside. And I love to see them sitting there so I sit really still and watch them. If I sit still they don’t go away.

There’s damage to the trees but it’s still great having them around and I love it. I could frighten them away when they start damaging the trees and then I wouldn’t have the damage but I’d rather let them come and sit on my veranda. If I shoo them away they might leave for good.

That’s why I love the country, things like parrots. And other animals too. You don’t get parrots in the city and that’s sad, there’s not enough trees and too many people. Far too many people. Nothing for the parrots to eat and people to scare them away.
