I love to watch the birdies as they hop and jump around,
Their antics so amusing as they scratch upon the ground
To dislodge a tasty bug or a wayward hidden seed -
I love to watch my avian friends when they come to feed.
The ground is covered now with leaves, a hidden treasure trove
Of insects looking for some good protection as they rove.
But even leaves cannot protect a bug from birdie's eye -
