Calling forth the sun
Come up! Get on up! Come on!
Trills disapproval.
Wake up, you others!
Flapping, flying in the cage
Morning sentinel.
Singing through the day
Gossiping 'bout us humans
Strange birds, those people.

I think the third hiaku was the best it was humorous
and provokes that thought of what those birds are really talking about.

Very nicely done haikus. It is very creative. Good luck. Rose

Oh, you darling girl, these haiku are adorable and I do not believe for a minute that you are eleven years old. I know a whole crowd of eleven-year-olds and you write circles around them all over and over again.
