I can hear the birds outside my window, it’s 2 am in the morning and yet they are chirping away like it’s the break of dawn. When I was little, they told me that birds only sang during the day, and I suppose as I was only ever up during the day and not at night when it’s scary, I guess I didn’t know any better.
As I grew older, I’d be coming home from a party or a club and notice the birds as my head hit the pilow, cursing their chirpyness because I wanted to go to sleep and they were making so much noise.
No I am much older, I know that they continue to sing, chirp whatever all teh way through the night, mostly because I am always up so I hear them. Strange how perceptions change isn’t it
