an odd display


Everything I do is to puff up my feathers, to make my colors more shiny. Without even realizing it, I keep gathering all of the prettiest twigs and flowers in the forest in order to make a beautiful display. Despite what I may think, my only concentration is the sharpness of my beak and the curve of my claws.

And upon realizing this, I find myself extremely disappointed in how ordinary the ritual is.

But either I ruffle up my wings and try to look impressive, or I find a nice shell and live in a tide pool.


Who thought of such a horrible system?
