Very nice. I'm very impressed. Beautifully written, and I'm guessing is not your first language ?
I remember that my son's first word was 'bir' ... pointing to one out the window.
A few years ago we had a sparrow infestation in my eaves ... and we have a double story house. To remove them entailed putting wire mesh between the tiles and gutters, after cleaning out all their nests which we quite messy. So the house sparrow is not a creature I like !
We also have a Koel bird here, that arrives in early Spring, part of the cuckoo family. It emits a piercing note staring at around 4 am trying to impress it's mate who might live miles away. Needless to that it does not impress me !
English is Cat's second language, yes, but it's an easy one so she learned it mostly from YouTube. :D
Does your son still like birds?
I had no idea sparrows could infest a house! I imagine they're quite noisy in big groups. Noise is my biggest problem with some birds, hence my non-existent love for jays and magpies. Some of the others are hilarious, however. Their mating songs or whatever sound like a heated discussion of world politics or a neighbourhood quarrel between two elderly ladies.
Still impressive. I like magpies even though the male’s swoop cyclists in early Spring …. They pair for life apparently which somehow endears me to them. Re noise, I can’t stand the screech of cockatoos.
Gifts apparently run in the family.
You're very kind, thank you.

This is endearing, indeed. I didn't expect something so nice from them. :D
