Linda, get a grip on yourself! You’re becoming an insufferable bore.

The woman at the checkout at Weaver Street doesn’t want to hear about Harumi and Kotori’s love of chickweed. She is not much interested in imagining just how soft Kotori’s feathers are or in listening to you gush about the cute way Harumi gears up before flapping to your shoulder.

On second thought, what is the matter with this person? She must have a heart of stone.

Everyone wants to hear about these sweet, precious, little birds. Right?! So show the twenty three photos you’ve taken in the last 15 minutes, and keep crowing about these tiny hens. The world is listening!
