Many nights after the three little girls are in bed I come down to tidy up the extra toys and dishes that were forgotten or hidden in corners. Each night I have walked by my bird cage with my ceramic birds and my heart sings. Some time during the day someone's little hands have placed a piece of cracker, cereal, popcorn or goldfish for those birds to eat. I just don't have the heart to take and throw it out and so it sits there until a new treat has been placed. One day I know that my little birds will no longer be fed and I will miss the days of finding little treats placed in the little bird cage.
