A Slight Turn of the Head

Well, it started quite quietly. My fingers found a bit of flex against the ledge beneath me, and when I gave a small push, my neck actually turned. Standing right beside me was an excitable red fellow, beak wide open toward the empty air. I slowly shifted my arm, resting one hand upon my hip to steady myself, and just took a quiet breath. Finding oneself upright and capable of looking around... well, it is a rather nice start.
