two friendly birds in a country tree
whelp

happens every day
reg’lar
heh heh heh
heh heh heh
how
you doin’
this mornin’?
oh
nothin’ to complain about
little chilly, maybe, you?
pretty much the same
thank you kindly
for askin’
what you up to today?
other’n the sky, i mean
haha!
oh, that one twig
in the ol’ nest, there
‘s been needin’ adjustment
gonna
look around
for a replacement?
aw, yeah
that or shove that one further in
haven’t decided yet
that one
was lookin’ pretty ragged
last time i saw it
i know it
our one chick kept on
sleepin’ with his beak to it
well, kids
don’t know
no better
sure
that one didn’t
anyway!
hahahahahahaha!
hahahahahahaha!
yeah, poor gus
he was a li’l slow
how’s he doin’ these days?
turned out to be
a real good flyer
that one
oh, yeah?
it’ll happen
that way sometimes
yep, flew clear over
got hisself a beauty
from sev’ral mountains off
he did, huh?
smart in the heart
where it counts
you’re right about that
he really has always
been that way
well, i’m glad

i’s a li’l
concerned there for a while!
hahahahahahaha!!

with m’ dang leg
you’d think it was moultin’ season
