My cold tree, my warm home…

There are no more leaf left on the tree,
no more warmth
no more color,
nothing left,
except some keen thorns ,
and some free branches.

I am a bird,
and free to choose my home,
yeah, free…

But hey tree! you are my home,
You are my little home with or without any thorn, darkness or leaf.

no matter you are full of thorn or fruit,
no matter you are green or black,
dark or full of light,
you are my tree,
my home,

Everywhere is cold,
Yeah, I know,
I am cold too,
you are too,

Any way, you are still my tree,
I love you,
and I belong to you.

Pied Bushchat (juvenile)

The Pied Bushchat (Saxicola caprata) is a small passerine bird found ranging from West and Central Asia to South and Southeast Asia. About sixteen subspecies are recognized through its wide range with many island forms. It is a familiar bird of countryside and open scrub or grassland where it is found perched at the top of short thorn trees or other shrubs, looking out for insect prey. They pick up insects mainly from the ground, and were, like other chats, placed in the thrush family Turdidae, but are now considered as Old World flycatchers.

They nest in cavities in stone walls or in holes in an embankment, lining the nest with grass and animal hair. The males are black with white shoulder and vent patches whose extent varies among populations. Females are predominantly brownish while juveniles are speckled.
