I’d imagined this moment so many times, but I never expected that a bird so small would steal the seed right out of my mouth!
That’s right. Here I am, a full-size scarlet Cardinal and he’s a tiny Chipping Sparrow. Who knew he was standing right behind me? It’s not like I had a mirror. While I have terrific vision, I can’t see behind me.
You just can’t trust other birds. They act trustworthy, but they’ll take the last seed from the feeder. I tried to discuss it with him, but he laughed at me. No one takes me seriously.
Is it because I’m so red? You know, I’m more than my color! I’m a real BIRD!

They birds are funny. They are always squabbling with each other and the little birds are very plucky and surprisingly unafraid of the bigger birds, though I notice they have a lot of respect for the woodpeckers.

That’s one feisty little bird.

They are feisty — and friendly. Those little sparrows are easily tamable. I don’t try to tame them because I want to know that they can fend for themselves. I’m not going to be here forever to care for them and sooner or later, they will have to find their own food.

It’s every bird for itself, you big, red oaf!

I always wonder about those bright red birds. Doesn’t that attract predator birds — like hawks? Though I haven’t seen any hawks around here recently. We used to see them, but they seem to have moved on to more open woodlands.
Being RED doesn’t make you powerful!

I think the pictures picked the story. The pictures were really cute and I needed a story to wrap around them 😀
