stare – A daily Bird of the Day Photo – from Port St. Lucie, Florida

July 23, 2021

I keep telling you people: Everything must be made as simple as possible. But not simpler.

Look like the innocent flower, But be the serpent under it. That’s what I always say.

I look like a lawyer?? A lawyer with his briefcase can steal more than a hundred men with guns.

I am long, tall and built for speed. But you can just call me Sally.

Look into my eye. Look into my eye. We are both getting sleepy. Wait, that’s not how it goes.

I am one handsome bird if I say so myself! Wait, did I say that out loud?

Look deeply into my eyes, look deeply. When I click my beak you will do everything I say.

I may not have eyes in the back of my head, but I’ve got the next best thing.
