Love Birds

by sarita-aditya-verma

*Love birds in the cage At times sage at times rage Male enterprising Greenie , his name Female whip smart, Bluey , her name It took me a little while to befriend the two Never had a pet ,Other than a fish or two Greenie was the one Who made calls for the feed Bluey made sure she was the first to eat Greenie the chivalrous, would wait for his turn Bluey ,always on a diet , quickly she ate Greenie ate to his Heart's content Together they would sing And swung On their little swing Born in captivity They had wings ,but never did they fly Or Maybe never did they try Fly fly fly away... I'd say Probably... Possibly .... Never ....ever ...never they'd say Happy in the cage ,with each other They knew ,no other way Love birds ,as they say*

Notes

I had a pair of love birds in year 2016 , lovely they were , intelligent and lovable .

Lost them to a preying eagle , usually kept the cage outdoors during the day.

One afternoon as I left the cage outdoors ,as I was out for some work , it was heartbreaking to see the two dead in the cage , on my return.

I could only imagine how valiantly greenie must have fought the eagle.

I do have another pair , got one on my younger son's insistence, it was him who got the first pair as well .
