After her last baby finished flying lessons and was catching worms on his own, she decided to leave her daily routines and go on vacation. How was she to keep her feathers colorful and her eyes bright if her life was only routine? She imagined the town had an assortment of colorful seeds that her competitors had no idea about. They were too busy in their own routines.

So this is our canary giving us a proud look, a slightly secret look only for us. The look says: Today, I’m walking, not flying like birds usually do.
