There are birds
who’s job it is
to feed other birds

Parents, of course 
dropping appropriate nutrition 
into yellow lined
demanding mouths

and birds at feeders
who toss seeds 
to friends and foes below 

Do they throw the rejects
not worth their effort?
or the prime ones?

do they count-
‘one for me- three for you’?
or is it, totally 
random?

Ground birds clamour
happy and fat

Some seeds escape
-sprout
Sunflowers and thisel
