Birds and Snakes

Mommy, what happened over there?
Billy, a baby bird fell out of the tree.
Why is that snake coming over?
The snake is talking to the bird's mother.
Snakes can talk?
Of course. They are probably deciding whether to sue the owner of the tree.
Why?
Because he didn't take care of it and the branch broke. Now they will sue.
What will that do?
They will settle out of court and the bird family will get free food for a year. The snake will get weekly deliveries of mice to eat.
What about all those other birds?
They are witnesses and will get their own bird bath.
What happens to the tree?
It will be cut down so this doesn't happen again.
Where will birds build their nests?
A developer will arrive to plant sturdy trees that will take three years to grow.
Will I see nests under my window?
I'll bet you do. Oh, that little bird is throwing up. Probably a concussion.
What is that?
A brain injury.
Like that guy with the strange hair who's always on TV?
Not that bad, dear.
