The bird and I

The last time I told you that I no longer have pictures of this strange bush bearing fruit in winter, yet it turned out not to be the case.
I still have pictures, taken last year. After all, I have over 5000 pictures taken especially for Hive, that I have saved on my phone. So, that's again the bush I was talking about:

But today I want to make an update on my relationship/friendship with the little bird that came every morning to eat fruit in front of my window.

I have to say that I didn't see it in the last days and that made me feel quite sad.
The reason I didn't see it, though, was probably because I get up very early now. When I get up, it's dark outside, and I stand for a long time with the blinds down. Sometimes I forget to pick them up in time.
But today I heard something outside. Through the blinds and the closed windows. It was the chirping of a bird. I can't imagine how this little bird can make such a loud sound that you can hear through a closed window. I raised the blind and didn't see it at first. Then I looked for it with my eyes in the garden and finally I saw it, this tiny thing - it was perched on a branch of a tree a few meters in front of the room.

It was not frightened by the raising of the blind, waited for me to raise it, stood on the branch a little longer, looking at me, and then flew away.
At first I thought this bird was playing with me. You know, I told you what butterflies do with photographers, for example.
But it wasn't that.
A few minutes later I realized why the bird had made me pull up my blinds - snowflakes started falling outside. The first of the year! And even though I don't like winter and I'm afraid I won't be able to live it, it's a unique and magical moment that I'm glad I have the opportunity to see.

And I saw it, thanks only to my little bird. 🐥💚🐤

Nope, absolutely impossible. My body still thinks it will die, although this winter is not that cold it could be. 😱🌡️❄️☃️

Hello dear friend @soulsdetour good day
I love this tree and its colorful fruit.
It's good that you were able to see the bird that you like so much, and the snowflakes, I hope the temperature doesn't drop too much

That really made my day, dear @jlufer 😊
Well, the temperature suddenly dropped, as expected, but not that much, they could normally drop at that time of the year. Climate changes all over the world, you know. Still, it's a very unpleasant time.

5000 pictures, that's incredible, I can't imagine how beautiful you feel when you open the window curtains and the snow falls with the chirping of birds, it sounds like in a dream, you really have a special day 😊😇

This can only be imagined by someone who has never experienced a winter in his life. 😃 Of course, many people love winter in general, but I am not one of them. However, the bird helped me in the transition to this difficult time to experience...

True, maybe the same thing I would feel if only I grew up in your country, winter, how cold it is, 🤭😅

Birds can be very loud. Much louder than people. Once I lived in a city (in Szolnok, Hungary) with my Harris's hawk, and the people could hear my Harris's hawk screaming two streets away. And I am not joking. Nowadays I live in a village. My bird rarely scream nowadays. Mostly when she is hungry, or when she see a stranger.

I can imagine how loud could be a Harris's hawk 😃 That's a big rapacious bird. I was talking about a really tiny bird.
Btw, admirations for the type of bird you have chosen.
