A bit of spice in the bird life. Maybe the spice will continue even better now that the nest is empty. Best wishes with your entry.

So many images with your haiku/senryu, and all are very well formed.
I love the shake that tale, empty nest, fledglings. Each one creates a little more beauty about these birds who create life.
Well done.

Thanks for entering, 'mystery writer', though as the sponsor, of course I know your identity.

Fun and excellent imagery throughout.

Clever use of, 'yapping' to infer parrots can imitate speech or sounds.

My only nit-pick is, 'this' looks forced in the end of the line, and would read better if it started the 3rd line, IMO.

Good luck and best wishes.

You're doing very well so far in the voting.

Cheers, Ray

I love the poem. Life begins again. The area once loved by your Grandpa will be loved by another generation. First the animals, then the people. Great work.

Excellent. I liked it a lot just imagining the sadness of the abandoned nest. But then again that is nature. I do not know a lot about poetry but I liked it. Good luck in the contest. Ulla

You have certainly followed the rules of this contest, and come up with a really lovely Bird' Nest Haiku. From birth to the eventual flying the nest to fly south. excellent. Good luck in the contest! xsx Sandra
