When you are a very small feathered being in a very big world, sometimes you may feel like you struggle to be heard.
Sure, you have a strident (resonant) shriek.
But then again, so do the enormous h.a.w.k.s. from one tree over.
Still, you have things to say. Important things.
Things other beings need to hear.
You must persevere.
You must find a way to amplify your voice. To stand up and be counted.
Once the world finally sees how cute you are, you may even get counted twice!
