span across the lowest limb
mother’s many pets
Author notes
My mother was an obsessive collector - I could open an antique store. Birdhouses were one of her many.

oh I like this
. It make me think she's passed away, as the birdhouses are empty.. And i like the idea of the birdhouses themselves being pets
Very cool.
thanks for entering and g'luck.

LMAO your AN is always so short and funny somehow.
I could easily see this winning something!!!
"lowest limb"<--cool alliteration, and just cool phrase.
"mother's many pets"<--Funny & hilarious "Aha" ending.
I liked this!!
