Suara Untuk Memikat Burung 소설 & 이야기

I blurt out my thoughts, hoping to realize the connectivity. Scholar Li ponders, "What do you mean by—" Xu Kai beckons me to continue, "Continue, Miss Yuan." It seems he has the same thoughts as I do, but desires to hear my inputs first. I nod, "White millet is the favorite bird seed of sparrows, as they have small beaks. The large amounts of seeds with a yellow shiny coat have come to attract ground feeding birds. With that in mind, it is safe to say that somewhere scattered on the ground are trails of millets. After all, there has been a pattern in the sparrows who have been flying in the sky."

A second one quickly joined the first one and added to the chirps. Frustrated by the noisy birds, Miko dropped her tools and looked up at them with an annoyed kind of death stare. “What do you want? Can’t you see I’m busy?!” The first bird uttered a few chirps plainly and evenly. After it was done, the second one added a few of its own, as though to confirm the first. “I dunno. Go... search for bugs in the courtyard. It’s nice to be useful, isn’t it?” The bird puffed itself up, gave a happy chirp, then floated out the open window behind Miko.

"I wonder how those birds taste with gravy?" The room went silent, and Aurora's shutting eyes shot wide open. "Nanny!" Zan shrugged, "Not that great, I imagine. Far too stringy." Nanny gave a satisfied nod that her goal had been achieved. "I did have a thought," the fat woman went back to their task. "I have seen the falconers use a metal ring around their bird's foot to identify their ownership. Would that not work for these birds also?" The Council contemplated her suggestion. "The rings would have to be small to keep the bird's flight from being hindered," Ezer said as he nodded slowly.

But after seeing me simply playing with the pigeon, she looked away and continued her work. She didn’t suspect anything. Good. I exhaled quietly and focused again on the bird. Slowly, carefully, I leaned in closer, whispering under my breath as I tried to calm it further, making sure it stayed still long enough for what I needed. My fingers shifted slightly, careful not to alarm it. I lowered my voice and leaned slightly closer to the pigeon, pretending it was just affection while my lips moved in a soft whisper only I could hear. “(Zarun veli shara tembos… lin’kai suvera nox.)”

Its neck was twisted in an unnatural position, and inside its slightly open beak was a small piece of paper. I bit my lip, my body still trembling. Aaric grabbed the paper carefully, unfolding it. Only one sentence there, written in red ink, seemed to be drying. "The bird that chirps too much will lose its voice forever."

Each species contributed its unique melody to the ensemble, creating a tapestry of sounds that blended in perfect harmony. Robins, with their russet-red breasts, perched on the highest branches, their clear and melodious notes ringing through the garden. Sparrows flitted from bush to bush, their cheerful chirps filling the air. Finches added their high-pitched trills, while blackbirds, with their distinctive calls, added depth and richness to the composition.

Birds squeal and fly off while I grin and rest my back against the door. “Hey, Upma”

Clara could feel the tension constricting her chest, waiting to take over. Air churned behind him, gathering and molding into what she could make out like birds—ten of them—flapping their wings in a beat. The small birds did a little show in a swooping arc and glide. The flutter of their small wings had Clara’s heart doing the same. As they glided in swiftness, a flash of rich browns and brilliant blues followed them in a trail.

She whispered. Sara sniffed the bird as Megan had bent down to scoop it up and cradle it to her chest. She began a quite chant that brought her strength to the top as she twitched her wrist and passed two fingers lightly of the broken wing. With a chirp, she let the bird go. Megan smiled as she watched it fly higher and higher.

Robin boasted with a wide grin. "I can not wait to see her again, but how would she know where we are?" Lacey pointed out. "I know how," Robin said. "Remove the barrier around us, Sia." After the barrier was brought down, Robin chirped lowly, mimicking a bird cry. Soon, a bird landed on his open palm. He touched the head with his finger and the bird leaned into his hand. He began caressing the small head of the bird. He lifted the bird to his lips and whispered some things to it before allowing it to fly away.
