Human and animals share that trait don’t they? Loved the haiku Rob!

Impulses are present in all living things, be they instinctve or considered.

Sounds like an idyllic summer
Somehow think the woodpecker would be having more fun than the boy though, if this was in Chennai for the simple reason, it’s too hot here for anything but taking shelter under the shade of a tree (or the AC for an indoor person)

lol - It depends on how “hungry” they are - the primal motivation… great haiku Rob!

its the simplicity that amazes me here.
makes me wonder about the relationship between our impluses and instincts.
