Together they completed
The nest with love and warmth
It was the prasuuthigruhh
for his Daphne, Aps boasted.
A wild little flower of red rose
Decorated the lovely roomy nest
On the day Daphne came
To stay with him forever.
For her home was the most beautiful
And the most handsome her lover
And now, like no other male in the clan
he welcomes her with a flower
He started to weave another nest
On another Pinna on the same leaf
Which females came to visit
one after the other, in hoards
And Daphne who had laid eggs
was eager for his children to hatch
Grew jealous as female wannabes
Made a beeline to the new nest.
It was natural for the baya males
To take many wives every season
But, she'd hoped he would not,
And she'd mother all his children.
Aps filled the new nest with grains
He had stored in holes in the tree trunk
To feed his dearest Daphne,
When she brooded over the eggs.
'I am sorry, I was jealous
That you built the new nest
To entertain another female.
Now I am sure, I am sure,
'I am the only one in your life.
I Shall Mother All Your Children.'
Said Daphne with a sob.
Aps said nothing, just hugged her tight.
