Stork Village

Openbill Storks,
nesting in trees above a small village.
Their beaks shaped
like scissors, they cluster
over thatched houses below.

Three chicks sit stiff
where their nest landed
after jostling for space.
White feathers tucked up,
but they do not go unnoticed.

A new home awaits
in the sanctuary of the village,
with bowls of snails
to fuel growing wings.
