What happens when they’ve cut down all the trees?
When they’ve evicerated the hedge rows, sterilised the brambles, sprayed the grassy clover, stamped on the daisies, crushed the insects, starved the green.
When the land is humanised. When the natural kingdom is dust…
When they own it all
When they have stamped their tarmac seal on the Earth
Where will the animals go
Where will the insects nest
Will the birds sing?
Birds will always sing but not everyone can hear them.
I wake to the sound of Magpies,Currawongs, Kookaburras and Sulphur Crested Cockatoos….they’re morning song always brings comfort to me.
Australian Birdsong is beautiful.

I think they are planning to send them to Mars or something…
Birds sing sweetly all over the world. Different songs, you have to listen for.
