Oh you got me!
The high pitched alert travels to me and I stretch my neck in its direction. My wings lift automatically; my body prepares to take flight
Was totally prepared to read this was a smoke detector and the bird was gonna die in an inferno from which her clipped wings permitted no escape.
Maybe that's what you meant to do, maybe I'm just morbid. Either way, great read!
It was just the microwave...or in his mind, the announcement that corn had been found!
I figured microwave when no fire broke out lol. Really good one 😊
