about

Human and bird families meet and call and response: ducks, swans, Moorhens, herons, men, women, children.

lyrics

Birds and people or all ages, out on a sunny day

Our love for nature is a performance, and if you truly love it and put it above you then what can you do?

You will leave the world and leave it to what?

To a little boy stomping at a bird to watch it take off.

He shouts ìl y a un petit!

He sees the baby swan, the moorhead chick the size of a bath toy,
and he’s mesmerised!

But still he doesn’t question his superiority or that of his brother flinging a soccer ball towards the birds.

Call, response, responsible for what? Responsibility?

People love their dogs, their dogs love them and
the cats stay home and my love for birds is unrequited.

Us: we are the world, we are everywhere now and every path has its plastic bottle and there’s glitter under that hedge.

How did it happen?

I don’t think we’re that smart.
