My favorite Bird…. | Grandma’s Stories

May 16th My favorite Bird….

Today – we had several storms come in – and for awhile – I thought each one would end – but not the case. So, as I was sitting at the dining table and having a light snack – my very “favorite little bird” came to visit me.

As I am sitting there – and watching this “bird” – tip toe over that porch rail – looking for something good to eat – as in every few tippy-toe… steps – a little scratch for some little tidy bit.

So, since the storm is blowing rain and upsetting my Miss “Scrounger” – She is not going to be run off by this “rain storm” as “Miss Scrounger” knows there is something good for her here – she just has to find it. That’s what I like about this little bird – she is about the smallest of birds to come and look for something good to eat – and she digs around in every little crack and cranny – just pecking around until she finds just what she likes!

Well, today my little scrounger must have more time on her hands – as the wind was blowing and the rain kept a coming – and – she must have figured – – no sense in me getting drenched in this heavy stuff – “I’ll just investigate spots on this porch – like I never did before!”

“Little Miss Scrounger” takes a little tip toe and bounce and down on the outside of the porch rail and then into a little “peep hole” and onto the rail under the top rail – with some real investigation skills – tip toe and a few more quick “dance” steps – I know just what she was thinking – “this looks like some of the “bird houses” that I took a little “peek” into – but this one – just looks like a “giant” size – birdhouse, to me!”

Now that “Miss Scrounger” had so much fun – finding new and private quarters – that only she was able to maneuver in and around – I’m betting that she will be back – looking in these new hiding places for some “good eats” – like the man said on TV – everyone – even the “BIRDS” look for and enjoy “Good Eats!”

Well, I did have a few other things to do – and so I could not watch my favorite “little bird” – but now – that she has had so much fun in that new discovery of her’s – I’ll be putting some of her special “bird seed” in those same places – and I’ll soon find out if she really enjoyed – doing her little “tip toe and bounce dance” – like only she can do – “I sure enjoy watching my favorite Miss Scrounger – doing her special “tip toe and bounce dance” – just for me!”
