Rooks en famille

We've done stomping in fields
and perching on ledges.
Now we are practising
bouncing* on hedges.

In the fields we found worms;
bugs and spiders in hedges.
Now it's back to the rooftops
and perching on ledges.

*which - as with the field-stomping - is a precursor to pecking and feeding.
