fairy

It frightened me.
It was too beautiful to be real.
But how did it get on the gate if it’s a toy?
It turned its head.
Oh my God! It’s real.
I was keeping the laundry when I noticed an extraordinary bird resting on my gate.
It was bigger than a sparrow, its beak was yellow, and its chest had a huge white blotch, as if acting as an armor shield.
It was facing me, so I assumed its feathers are mostly dark chocolate brown but I could see it has some bright blue feathers.
I didn’t dare to move, fearing that it might fly away.
It didn’t like my presence, and it did fly away. Giving me a clearer view that most of its feathers are blue.
Extraordinary.
