Twittering

I spent that day listening to the lonely scrapings of a pen. During that time, from time to time, I heard a Java sparrow twittering. It occurred to me that maybe Java sparrows twitter out of loneliness too. I walked out to the veranda to see. Nevertheless, flying to and fro between two perches busily and incessantly, it did not show the slightest hint of grievance.

Tom was walking along the quiet street when he noticed a robin twittering from an overhead branch.

I hear the twittering of birds.

The sun rose bright and shone upon the sheaf of oats, and the twittering birds surrounded the pole.

A bird is twittering in the tree.

It was fine and bright this morning. You could hear the little birds twittering.

Birds are twittering in the trees.

Around them was spread the rich flora of the Carmel ridge, with occasional Druze villages nestling on its slopes; and close at hand the happy twittering of the birds fell on the fragrant air.

For a time absolute silence brooded upon the sylvan scene, save for the humming of insects and the twittering of birds.

Goldfinches and yellowhammers are twittering in the garden.
