lyrics

{
...owlets...
the Barred Owl, chicks,
was on the ground, this morning
in the marsh.
and I got worried that,
he shouldn't be out of the nest because he fell out of the nest once before and the nature preserve people put him back in, and I thought.
he's fledged, and he's, looking awfully small and vulnerable to me
and he should be put back
or he's fledged
and, th, the parents, want this to happen
and th, the two parents were in a tree, watching
but but they were making a kind of a commotion, so I was afraid.
that he shouldn't be there.
but he was out
and they couldn't get him back so I called the preserve
I called public safety who called the preserve manager
and she
got back to me to say
It's True
He's, They've Kicked Him Out Of The Nest
And They're Watching
But
This Is His Growing Up.

but isn't he sweet?

~

'cause they expect them to learn to fly on their own—and they will continue feeding the chick
even after they've kicked him out of the nest
bringing him food
but, the point is that he learns to, fly on his own after, he can't be in the nest anymore.

But
it seems irresponsible to me—
I'm a much more protective mother!
