Transfer some "being". That's interesting. Thanks for sharing your story.

One early morning, Chiji (feathered friend on the right) and his elder brother (on the left) went out to get some food stuffs. On getting to their target site, they saw boats moving up and down. Chiji got his brother's attention to the boats. He asked some questions which his elder brother answered successfully.
After a while, he got confused as some of the boats that went to different directions never came back. He called his brother and asked him why. His brother told him that everything has its own destination.
Chiji shouted at him, arguing that it's not destination. He even told his brother that he doesn't know anything.
His brother laughed and replied saying;
Chiji gave him a sad look before trying it out.
very interesting saying I like that such wisdom.
Yeah.
Thanks
Lots of wisdom! Thanks for writing a comment story!

Hahahaha
Life seems to be less fun when you learn in a hard way.
Learning the hard way is with reason
Yeah. You're right.
At times, it's not funny
Lola and Maude besties forever decided to try out something different this beautiful fall day. The two friends as they were walking the river road thought why not swim across the river and back. As they got to the other side Maude needed to take a rest, of course they are no spring chickens, or shall we say ducks.
Poor Maude, went to rest a few minutes and froze into a rather uncomfortable position. Lola started freaking out, she didn't know what to do, she began squawking up one side and down the other looking for help. Alas, there was no one or anything useful on that side of the river.
Lola became frantic then she saw the boat, she began quacking as loud as she could. Lola had wished she had the voice of a goose right now to get the attention of that boat. Lola in desperation, looked to the heavens and said a little prayer, then she let out the loudest quack she could muster. And a miracle happened the boat tooted its horn and turned around. Maude and Lola got back to the other side, They got safely back home, and Maude thawed out and told Lola let's not do that again. Well, maybe we can, only next time we should do it in warmer weather 😂
Poor ladies! I'm glad they found the help they needed! 😁Thanks for the great story!

ENGAGEtokens.Love it, sounds a bit like my mum too...lol... her name was Lola....
Except Mum's was a whistle. When we were kids, especially during day light saving, we'd all be down the river and there'd be about 20 of us kids and next thing you could hear was mum whistling at us all from the back door. So that was it, everyone knew it was time to go home for dinner....oh the 70's and 80 were great here in small town Australia.
Oh that is funny! My dad was in the Navy so we had this big navy bell that my Mom would ring for us to come home. It was loud so we could go anywhere with in the sound of the bell and be home in 15 minutes.
Oh wow, I think that that bell wouldv'e literally been heard all over my small town of 4500 people....
@pinkdragonfly a angry Maude HahahahH that's not what we want!
I had so much fun here! This is in Rotterdam under the swan bridge.
Dear feathered Commenters good luck and surprise me with your comments !
The Swan Bridge! That makes this photo even more perfect for the Feathered Friends Comment Contest! Thanks for everything you do to keep this contest going!

ENGAGEtokens.Ronald...Ronald, you see, you see it! Shrieked Martha as stood back from the edge, chest puffed out, looking up into the air with annoyance.
Yes Martha, I am looking at it. I can see it you know. Said Ronald with guilty indignation.
We missed it!
No I don't think we did Martha
I told you we would miss it if you kept dallying around.
Yes Martha, I know you did, but we're here now aren't we AND right on time too I might add.
No Ronald, we're late. We must be because it's not here. she exclaimed, stamping her foot.
No Martha, it must be late, because we are here and exactly when they said. Ronald said through his clenched mouth as he stared hard down the riverbank desperately hoping
Well Ronald, then why is it driving out away from us. I told you we missed it.
Because that's not our Taxi Martha, the one coming in behind it is, said Ronald with a quiet triumph in his voice, so happy to be right for once.
And that is Martha and Ronald's entry into the awesome #FeatheredFriends contest with the fantastic photo by @brittandjosie.
And I must ask @brittandjosie, what sort of birds are they? Are they Ducks of some sort cause their feathers- their colours and markings look gorgeous! 😀
Oh my goodness you make me laugh with your stories! Ronald just thinks he will have the last word in this with quite triumph in his voice 😂
I will 😉
LoL!
Well he never gets the chance to with Martha bossing him about all the time...🤣😂😅
So glad that you enjoyed it!!!
Thanks for letting me know, I really appreciate it and there's really no point writing if others don't enjoy it- unless it's to purge some sort of negative emotion or event ofcourse...
agree it's much more fun to write if others are enjoying the story you tell 😀
Yes and I love writing- now...HATED it in school,. but what I have found since discovering these featheredfriends comment contests is that I am able to write much easier than normal because seeing the photo...I just instantly get a story pop in my head- everything, the dialogue, the voices and accents, the character movements, it's almost like 'automatic writing'.....and then suddenly it's done and only a couple of minutes have passed, but when I'm writing something else from an idea in my head, I find it soooo tedious and even though I'm inspired to write it cause it's a good story, I feel like I am uninspired- especially compared to how I feel writing here....!....lol....Still doesn't help with my typing finger dyslexia though...lol...
well keep on writing you have a talent!!
Awesome thanks so much for the compliment hun, I really appreciate it!
If you want to read more, I've always gor some short stories that I wrote ...wow...a decadde ago or so...lol...
Hahaha! I love your stories! I always know I'm in for a laugh!
!ENGAGE 25
Awww so happy you like it thanks Melinda!!!.
AND it was a short one this time too! 🤣
ENGAGEtokens.I see two friends trying to make things right after missing their last chance of travelling to their homeland.
Jon (the feathered friend on the left said);
Can we just go back to the streets?
It was just a simple question waiting for a simple answer.
Kent (the friend on the right) roughly said;
Go where?
As he replied with a threatening voice, Jon noticed that he wasn't angrier than Kent. He kept quiet while Kent stretched his neck, crying aloud for the captain to hear him. All to no good result.
As they waited there throughout the whole day, Jon became tired and weary. He asked Kent the same question in the night and still got the same answer.
In the morning,boats began to pass by while Kent continues to cry for help. Fortunately for him, a small boat was crossing their path and Kent began to cry in his native language.
As fortunate as he was,the captain is not just from his clan, it's his father's friend who knows him.
Before the captain could turn the boat, Kent had already became tired, just like Jon.
As both brothers were just hanging on, lo and behold, a boat with good passenger space came before them, waiting for them to board.
Wahoooooooo!
Safe journey peeps.
I'm so glad they will get home, such a happy ending for them.
Yes indeed
I'm so glad they were safe!
Thanks for writing such a great story
!ENGAGE 25
Yeah.
ENGAGEtokens.Wow, sounds like they must've had a big night out on the town....😃
Yeah.
They hated the town
I've missed all the fun.
This is my first time.
Am still in the process of getting my account free from the blacklist.
My story
One day, a man came to master Chin's house with an empty cage.
They sat down and talked for a while before master Chin called for the birds.
As they were being arranged, Jack and Jim flew away from their cages and landed on the tree behind master Chin's house.
Master Chin did not bothered about these two birds, hoping that he would catch them in the evening.
As it was bargained, master Chin sold Jack and Jim's mother to the stranger for money.
When the stranger was leaving, Jack and Jim followed him while their mother kept calling on them until they reached the shore where he kept his belongings.
Jack and Jim planned on releasing their mother from the cage but the man presented it from happening. That was the time their mother told them "all is well".
The stranger packed everything into his boat and paddled away.
Jack and Jim cried until the boat was no more seen.
Poor boys! Thanks so much for writing a comment story about these two!
!ENGAGE 25
Ok
Happy weekend
ENGAGEtokens.Thank you
On nooo that's really sad....😭
Poor boys, poor mum, never to see each other again, not knowing if she became the strangers dinner or not....
Aahaaahahaa
"Starngers dinner*
That's a possibility
That Master Chin should be horse whipped, so sad for the boys.

omg I hope so ,with HF testing coming in the next couple days am a bit on the lookout so things don't get borked but will try! The LOH team is growing stronger and stronger, the interplay between all the GOOD things going on is what makes Hive both unique and from a business perspective, one of a kind in the fact it's transaction rates are lightning fast and the user base is solid. I've joined the FF community awhile ago but that dang thing called RL gets in the way ;)
great initiative ladies
Yay!

Hahahah just a comment to a picture I took
I love your writing style and keep hoping you will join in!
I recently came from visiting a kitten that I rescued at the veterinary clinic, I found on my way a couple of macaws eating in a tree, it was beautiful to see them so close.
The birds are beautiful, for me to see them in captivity is terrible.

Hello everyone, here is my little story:
After two days in hiding they could finally get out, elio and nanci;
_ Stay calm nanci, said elio ... but she did not stop seeing how that boat was moving away.
-I will not be calm until I can no longer see them; you already forgot how they chased us to catch us, it would be a real disgrace, if they had achieved their purpose of catching us, and they put us in those cages, just to show us, as their trophy.
_ But they didn't make it, nanci, we were faster than them!
-The humans will never understand that we do not like to be locked up, we were born to be free!
_No longer mortify nanci, they left and we stayed here, in our home and free as always!
-Yes old man, but you know they will try to get us out of here again;
_But while that doesn't happen, enjoy your freedom!
Yes, humans just don't understand that they were meant to be free, not locked up in cages. I enjoyed your story. Thanks for sharing. Have a good week ahead.
ENGAGEtokens.Nice story! Thanks for writing a comment story!
