🐥NEW RESTAURANT ON THE BLOCK🐤🐤🐤
Come join me, one and all of my feathered friends
It was a sad day when the old man stopped feeding us. I can still hear him banging on the bottom of his iron bowl with a spoon and making this bell like sound with the spoon on the stainless steel bowl.
The old man always cooked up some rice and added this to his bread crumbs and came out early every morning to greet the day and to feed me and my friends.
There was a palm tree in the garden and some days the branch would be so heavy with all the little colourful red and yellow birds waiting for their meal.
Of course the bigger fellers like myself would scoop down and enjoy our share of the meal.
Seeing the sign of the bird on the fence I discovered the new restaurant. Sure enough beyond the fence was not only a feeder hanging from the tree, but a beautiful bird bath.
How I like this new place but I often think of the old man beating his dish and calling us all to eat - with his homemade mixture of bread and freshly cooked rice.
I believe he has gone to a better place - but we will surely miss him.
This is based on a true story of my late father who never failed to feed the birds until his dying day and my heart was sad to think of those creatures coming to get their daily meal. Sometimes the leaf of that palm tree would be so heavy that I wondered how it didn't break with all the weight of the beautiful little birds. I'd like to invite @lizelle and @artywink to participate
What a wonderful story 💖 I'm so thankful that there are so many people who care about nature and wild animals who need help. Feeding little birds everyday is a great thing, how he had served the world.
That part of the story is true - of my late father
Yes indeed a wonderful story
True I love how people care for birds and animals in their own small way.
A nice story, @pandamama! I wish you success in the context.
Thanks Olga - based on a true story haha

The birds must miss your father badly.
