Patience by maggiemae

Patience

among birds. You have to wait until its your turn. The ring-eyes are in throngs so sparrows have to wait. But there won't be any left by the time Mr Sparrow gets his turn.
I put sugar and various seeds together with old and softened bread crusts.
Thankful for:
Still getting side effects from the infusion - supposed to last 3 days but could be 14. Guess I'm going to be 14. Mostly at night. But very grateful for a comfy bed and total quiet!
The pecking order in the natural world is always valid. I hope your health problems will be over soon.

It looks like a very popular spot! Good luck with your health.

Mr Sparrow seems to be rolling his eyes. Hope you don't need 14 days to feel better.

@ludwigsdiana Thank you Diana - your comment made me smile - exactly!

The birds are obviously loving the meal you made for them. Hope you're feeling better sooner than 14 days.

Maggiemae, I pray you'll be much better soon. Sending you good thoughts and cyber hugs! Lovely shot and I'll have to try your recipe for a bird feeder.

Sparrows are always at the end of the pecking order.

Wishing you better days ahead.

Nice shot of them together, one eating, one waiting. Sorry to hear you are still having side effects. Glad to hear they aren’t too bad and only at night. I hope that doesn’t make sleeping difficult because you definitely need your rest.

Your symptoms sound horrendous maggie...you are a trouper not complying much! I know it can really floor you!
Love the way there are lots of branches around your bird table, lots of perches for the birds!

@nickspicsnz @marlboromaam @allie912 Thank you for your kind thoughts - I know that they are sincere and so I feel blessed that you care!

@happypat Not too horrendous, Pat - just generally one at a time. They say the first infusion is generally the one where side effects happen.

@grammyn I have the most divine bed, Katy - smooth and soft with the lightest of goose down duvet! What could be nicer!
July 19th, 2020  
Great capture!

@maggiemae sounds like perfection and a wonderful way to rest up!

It is the most popular place around. Take care of yourself

I guess all species have a pecking order, including humans. I missed the information re an infusion, hope all is OK with you.

@golftragic After 9 years with osteoporosis, I hid from the doctors. But I had to answer honestly a survey from the nurse at our med centre. No, no scan, no medication. She set all in motion - scan - diagnosis - infusion - I hated the idea of this sitting still while this stuff dripped into your veins but did as I was told. I had, of course, googled the side effects. They did happen but not too too bad, just maddening!

@maggiemae Sounds awful MM, so sorry. OA definitely sucks. But the alternative's not too good either. Hope the infusion helps you.

@golftragic 'Apparently the 'aclasta' infusion has really good results so its worth going through stuff. Not as bad as coronavirus as well!
July 21st, 2020  
@maggiemae Oh definitely, on both counts.
