✅Ruby and Rufus, two robins with chests like smoldering embers, flitted through the garden in a playful dance. Ruby, the female, with her speckled breast a map of secrets, was the first to spot a plump worm wriggling beneath the rosebush. She cocked her head, flame-red breast puffed, and let out a sharp tweet. Rufus, a flash of orange against the green, swooped down with a chirp, but Ruby was faster. With a quick peck, she claimed the prize, leaving Rufus to hop around with a disgruntled chirp.
Undeterred, Rufus puffed out his chest, displaying the vibrant red that usually won over the neighborhood robins. He hopped towards the birdbath, its surface a miniature mirror reflecting the cerulean sky. A flash of movement caught his eye. A rival robin, a stranger with a duller red, was eyeing their territory. With a fierce cry, Rufus puffed himself up further, becoming a fiery ball of feathers. The intruder, startled, took flight, leaving Rufus victorious.
He strutted back to Ruby, who was now perched on the fence, the worm a forgotten memory. She tilted her head, a mischievous glint in her dark eyes. With a soft chirp, she launched herself into the air, leading Rufus on a merry chase through the blooming apple tree. Their laughter, a melody of chirps and tweets, filled the garden, a symphony celebrating the joy of spring and the companionship of a feathered friend.❎
