Aggressive Little Robin
The little robin seems to believe the entire
birdfeeder is his person kingdom.
He sits atop the frame,
bright chest puffed out as if he’s wearing armour.
His beady eyes scanning for intruders.
Yet despite his territorial bravado, he’s somewhat daft.
He spends so much time fighting off others he barely eats anything himself.
It’s as if guarding your treasures
are more important
than enjoying them.
A life lesson perhaps.
Or maybe he’s just a tiny tyrant with feathers.
Either way, the bird feeder drama has become my favourite garden soap opera.
