Why did the bird bring a suitcase? Because it was going on a peck-nic!

In the heart of Flinders Chase, I found myself surrounded by an orchestra of chirps and rustles. The birds here, oblivious to the world’s chaos, grazed peacefully on the ground. Their simple existence seemed almost enviable. Each peck at the earth was a reminder of life’s basic needs and the beauty of fulfilling them without fuss. The foliage behind them swayed gently, as if nodding in agreement with their serene routine. It’s funny how we often complicate our lives when all we need is right before us. The birds know this; perhaps they’re wiser than we give them credit for.
