Purple Sunbird: The Missing Human

Greetings everyone! 

How did your week go? Actually, ours was quite drab. Days begin in a predictable pattern for us. We are jolted awake by each other's calls. Someone else, like us, gets up at the crack of dawn and comes outside to greet us.

The human being. She comes in and greets us. Ensures that all water pots are filled with fresh water and that the feeding bowls are clean. She just lets us be, no matter what we're up to. Occasionally, she appears in the afternoon to check on the water pots. She comes up to play in the evenings. But she's been missing for a week.

One day led to the next, and there was still no sign of the human. We saw the others, but she didn't appear. Her disappearance has been noticed by all of the birds. No one had seen her, not even the sparrow family, collared and laughing doves, pigeons, or babbler sisters. She has also not been seen on her balcony.

Mynas speculated that she might have left. How can she do so without saying goodbye? However, it is a possibility. We were all extremely disappointed, but life goes on. Most of us had forgotten by mid-week, until Mr. Purple Sunbird mentioned that he had spotted the human.

He stated, "I caught a glimpse of her. She is currently inside the house. When she opened the door, I caught a glimpse of her." But we were all puzzled as to why she hadn't come up earlier. Mr. Sunbird responded: "She is most likely ill. Her face was covered with a cloth, and she didn't appear to be in good health."

Everything made sense after hearing his explanation. The other humans had their faces covered as well. So the human hadn't actually left. Although we have yet to see her, we wish her a speedy recovery. Hopefully, by next week, everything will be back to normal.

Do you know anyone who has gone missing?

They could be sick. Maybe it's time to call them and see how they are doing. If they are okay, then you can simply catch up with them. 

Have a safe and healthy week!😷💪  #tbd🦉
