ancient voices of children
I'm quite fond of birds in general, and find the various members of the crow family to be quite appealing to watch, especially with their hippity-hoppity strut and their evident intelligence. Somewhere close by there is a family of jays (there are also magpies and crows in the vicinity too), and today I was treated to a full on display of adolescent shouting by the three newly fledged chicks; they had lined up along a branch and bellowed at their harassed parents who were giving as good as they got. Altogether an unedifying and cacophonous spectacle, reminiscent of a toddler having a meltdown in front of the pick and mix. Eventually they realised that they had an amused onlooker and departed, swearing noisily as they went. No doubt they'll be back, they are slightly more tuneful than Magpies, but not very!
