Bird observations at the park

Today I got up early.
Around 7 to slowly inch towards the park.
In an attempt to focus my concentration.

The weather was cold,
the sky filled with grey-blue hanging clouds.
In my drawstring bag, I had a raincoat, bananas,
my bottle, notes, keys and my wallet.

My head was freezing but I felt happy.
My nose was cold but I didn't care.
I hummed along my way to the park.
Being mobile never made me happier.

I saw a bench as I entered the park.
I wanted a view with the lake so I disregarded it.
Ventured in further and found the perfect spot.
A bench under a shade facing the shining lake
and many types of birds.

Two black swans approached me.
I was nervous. Could they smell my bananas?
They came as close as half a metre
and was trespassing into my territory
 until I moved my crutch from my right to my left.

Science thought in process:
Their vision would have
the same 180 degree plane view as fishes do.
So if they were staring straight at me,
it would mean that I was in their blind spot.
However, they actually turned their necks
and glared at me to spook me out.

There was an old man at the bench beside me.
Three black swans appeared out of nowhere and
he started talking to them, saying:
Hey there! How do you do? Walk towards the pond!

That made me feel insignificant.
Why am I afraid of these birds?
Why can't I just coexist with them
without attempting to scare them away?
I have decided to do something about my fear with birds.
There are many things that I can be afraid of.
Birds should not be one of them.

Then there was a rather cute Ibis.
It ate a stone and nearly choked itself.
As the stone rolled down its beak,
it tried to crush it into pieces but somehow failed.
However, it ate the same stone for a second time
and choked itself again.
This time, it managed to chokingly swallow the stone.
Ouch.
It stayed put for some time before ignoring me
and walking off in a straight line.

My thoughts:
Ibis, How are you ever going to excrete that out?

The cockatoos were all cute looking,
resembling white parrots with fancy blonde hairdos
with very loud sore throaty voices.

I was gazing randomly at the lake and thought:
It would be unfair if the Ibis could swim as well since
it walked pretty fast and could fly a distance.
Hence, I observed the birdies present
and came to a conclusion:
Ibis cannot swim.

They just fly over the water
and land themselves on the ground.
Keep in mind that the next time one is attacked by an Ibis,
remember to immerse yourself completely in water
since they can still swoop down and attack you.
