Birdie Bites

A Story by Keerthana

Two birds talking

Bird world is not resistant to heart breaks and disappointments,atleast that is what my dog tells me.The story of an odd friendship between Blinky,the owl and Booboo,the pigeon.

Blinky:I don’t think we should fly together anymore.
Booboo:Comon.It’s not my fault that you look ugly.
Blinky:Some humans find us beautiful,not that it matters.
Booboo:Right.Those are the people who couldn’t afford us.
Blinky:See,that is why.You have your beautiful pigeon friends to be with.Leave me be.
Booboo:I know what is this about.Did I ate your share of worms,again?
Blinky:You did.But,that is not why.
Booboo:Is it because I s**t on random humans?It’s ok.They are cool with it.
Blinky:Noo.
Booboo:You know your friends eat my kind?
Blinky:Ya,I’ve tasted one too.
Booboo:But,you never tried to eat me.Or,did you?
Blinky:See.You don’t even trust me.
Booboo: Don’t make a scene,Blinky.You know I trust you.There are things I can only share with you.Like,how much I love those pink worms.
Blinky:Why don’t you share them with someone else?
Booboo:Why don’t you poop from your beak?
Blinky:We are different.Do you see any other flying buddies,like us?
Booboo:I don’t have your great eyesight,man.Is this about not having a Mrs.Blinky?
Blinky:Maybe.
Booboo:Great.I know someone with the perfect beak.
Blinky:I can find myself an owl.
Booboo:Spill it out Blinky!I have to go sleep.Mr.Booboo,will be waiting.
Blinky:That is what I am talking about.You have someone waiting and we don’t even sleep at the same part of the day.
Booboo:But,there is a time when we both are awake and that’s enough for me.
Blinky:I don’t like sharing food.
Booboo:That’s low.You made me eat worms.I was fine with seeds and fruits.
Blinky:Seeds are what you are supposed to eat.
Booboo:Blinks,please.I fly a little high when I’m with you.I’m not as smart as you,but that’s happiness in bird language.
Blinky:I’m sorry Booboo.Go sleep.Don’t wait for me on the electric pole,tomorrow.I have a Bird-date.Bite,if you may.
Booboo: Don’t invent words,Blinky.We call it a date too.
Blinky:you always make my beak form a curve,Blinky.
Booboo:And we all know how hard that is.Don’t leave.
Blinky:I have to.
Booboo:I thought I was special,Blinks.
Blinky:You are.I hate your color.But,I still like you.
Booboo:We won’t be friends anymore.
Blinky:Who says,we have to fly together everyday,to be friends?
Booboo:Stop smart assing me.
Blinky:Clean your feathers,once a year.I never tell you,but they stink.
Booboo:Now is the time to tell me that?
Blinky:Good bye,Booboo.It was nice flying with you.*Blinky flies off*
Booboo:Man,I should have never trusted someone who doesn’t sleep at night.
