A cozy sheltered spot this be,

A perfect place to eat,

Did someone put out food for me,

Or is the spread deplete?

I think I saw some feeders hang

From underneath this roof,

But I would fall down with a bang,

No thank you, I’m no goof.

 

I feel much safer on the ground, 

I’ll pick up fallen seeds, 

I’ll tidy up the mess around, 

And satisfy my needs.

A janitor! That’s what they need!

I help to keep things neat,

By eating every messy seed, 

That falls right at my feet.

 

*** In case you’re wondering what this lovely bird is, it is a Eurasian collared dove.
