I am Jack Daw with my own
nest requesting a companion
bird for short term relationship.

"My name is Corvidae I'm
a brunette seeking a friend
right now for brooding".

As we crows fly, how far
away are you from arboreal
hill just outside Mallow?

"I'm at the junction of butterfly
cross near zig zag road but
willing to come straight over ".

That's fantastic, I'm on the
first Elm after a Yew with
an Ash either side of me.

"Before coming to see, I want to
know if the nest is overlooked
and how many more on the tree"?

At the moment, only two but
mine it on top in a wonderful
V cluster which is almost in leaf.

"Did you build it yourself, or
is it a last years nest full of old
droppings and feathers"?

This is a new construction from
twigs I sourced under a Pine
so it has a wonderful perfume.

"And what about you Jack, are
you in any way related to the
Dawdle family"?

Well, I am, but I am nothing like
them, I'm up before the birds each
day, last into the rookery at night!

"Sorry Jack, my last Squawker was
a Dawdler and I swore never again,
because birds of a feather **** together".
