It is just like a soft poetic story, for anyone who likes to read something.
A little bird told me Whilst it was sitting by me Maybe you won’t believe me Even so, surprisingly I was very moved by it Just by what it told me It was a little bird story Which was worth listening? Yet this bird wasn’t a parrot Though it was just like a parrot Perhaps from the same family As it was so glorious to look at Feathers of beauty, it had got all That bird, it was a blessing to see With all of its wonderful glee Yes, but what was the story Which it had told you The story which it told to me Was nothing less than a myth It was fine and took time Even to tell it well Then bear a while with me I promise I’ll get to it As soon as I gather my wits Hush, I can’t tell it in a rush Why, it s just too much It’s hard to tell it when rushing You made it slipped away But, wait it won’t stay For it’s not one to stray No, not that little bird So whilst we wait This is the little story Told, by the bird in its glory So surprisingly, to me It said, the month is September Soon comes the winter It has to pack and go To where the weather is hot For parrots like birds to live That’s the story Which it had told me Then it flew away Just like a stray But it will come again When the winter’s ends I know it won’t stay This bird with its story One could rightly say It’s just a little myth The whole thing is who wants to believe This soft poetic story It is a moving myth All rights reserved.

THANK GOD, WE ARE GIVEN THE WISDOM TO JUDGE BETWEEN MYTHS AND TRUTHS. MYTHS...CHANGE, TRUTHS...DO NOT CHANGE. SO WHAT THE LITTLE PARROT-LIKE BIRD TOLD YOU WAS A TRUTH NOT MYTH...THAT'S WHY HE LEFT TO PROVE THAT THE TRUTH REMAINS THE SAME. WELL DONE, CLARENCE...I DID THINK ABOUT THIS ONE(SMILE). THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS

A likely story (myth?). Now, a parrot-like bird certainly could have been a macaw or parakeet. And the myth that they fly south would certainly depend upon the location. Many birds fly south to avoid cold weather in the winter, while some stay. No myth. Just a fact. But birds of beautiful color are often captured in the tropics and taken to climates that are much colder. They don't have the option flying south to warmer weather.
