A Morning Echo

Hey, I heard you say hi yesterday! I started moving as soon as morning light hit the floorboards. I walked past the potted tree and made my way to the open balcony door. Cool morning air swept over my snout. Out in the open, small birds were calling from the branches across the yard. I stood steady on my hind legs and let out a soft, low hoot through my crest. It made a funny, warm vibration right between my ears. One of the sparrows paused and chirped back into the breeze. It feels nice to greet the day out loud.
