Me: ‘Robin, you’re back!’
Robin: ‘Back? I haven’t been away.’
Me: ‘But I haven’t seen or heard from you in months.’
Robin: ‘Well, no, lady, I’ve been too busy to just sit around and chat, y’know.’
Me: ‘What’ve you been up to, little robin?’
Robin: ‘I had a mate to find and a territory to defend and a nest to build and kids to feed and rear. Summer’s a busy time for us robins!’
Me: ‘Phew, I feel tired just listening to you. And here was me thinking you were just hiding in the leafy trees or that you’d gone on your summer holidays.’
Robin: ‘Holidays? Fat chance! It’s been hard work for the last few months.’
Me: ‘You do look as if you’ve lost weight.’
Robin: ‘I have, and now winter’s coming so I need to fatten up to keep warm. So, lady, got any food for me today?’
Gorgeous little bird. Funny how we always assume Robins to be males isn’t it?
I know. I certainly do, for no apparent reason.
Awww!! Too cute 😍
🙂
Wonderful!
Thanks, Belinda. A bit of fun!
The one that lives to the front of our house vanished for a week and my husband was bereft, but the little bird then reappeared and now both are happy. 🙂 I adore robins (as you can tell from my userpic!) so thoroughly enjoyed your post!
I’m glad your little friend came back. I love them too, Val, so I’m sure there’ll be more conversations! 🙂
