Those Who Spy On Us

They do you know. Birds. They spy on us. They have eyes everywhere. But it's nothing malicious. You're there and visible and therefore available for observation. This is not a new phenomena. The truth is, we've been observed since the dawn of humanity, by a species that began in the Jurassic Period.

They listen from perches, from telephone wires, from limbs of trees and they make mental notes on our activities. They keep tabs on us through windows and some generations of birds have volunteered to be caged and kept in human domiciles.

And they tweet each other about what they see. Not the high tech kind. The original.

Their observances over time could probably fill several hundred libraries, if birds were into writing. There would be many lessons we could learn from their studies. But, they're not; so we can't.

And what do they see from their bird's-eye point of view? There are five strong possibilities:
1) We plant grass just so we can cut it every week or two
2) We tell stories that makes water come out of our eyes
3) We molt a new set of body coverings practically every day
4) We get angry when they crap on our moving machines, and
5) We stay out of the rain but wet ourselves to get clean.

I know all this because I keep an eye on them as they watch us.

It's one of those services I provide to humanity.
