Butcher Bird Haiku's

[diannet]

High in the pine tree
baby butcher birds are tossed
in natures theme park

mother butcher bird
sings lullaby to babies
reassuring song

The next day...

first flight from the nest
a wee mishap - crash landing
baby butcher bird

Poor baby bird
Slipping off rainwater tank
Mum and dad nearby (serial haiku...happening as I write)

‏
on frangipani
a lesson on flight begins
mum’s stressful morning

various dramas
for butcher bird family
guarding their young one

cool night approaches
natures resilience shines through
lil butcher bird sighs

Following day...

morning light shines bright
baby bird wakes still on fence
mum serves him breakfast

How did I miss this? What happened next? Please tell me the story has a happy ending!

A "serial haiku", oh Dianne, that is so clever...

Hi Brigid, have added the others... it was quite a weekend keeping Isabelle and Panda inside so they couldn't upset the baby. Anyway it was still going strong the following morning and hopped along the back fence down 3 or 4 houses. He's okay I think, I can still see the parents fluttering back and forth...
