A Scatter of Shiny Seeds
A tiny click-clack bounced off the rug right in front of me! I took three swift sideways hops toward the foot of the armchair? There lay an open sewing basket, and spilled across the floor was a shower of glassy, seed-like beads! I tilted my head sideways, inspecting a bright turquoise bead that shimmered under the noon light. Tap! My beak nudged it gently, sending it spinning into a cluster of pearly white spheres. They rolled in a sparkling wave across the woven wool! I bobbed my head and gave a tiny hop, rolling another one just to hear the soft clicking sound?
