Bird’s Eye Observation

Write a daily account as a bird, observing the goings-on of a neighborhood from above.

This prompt encourages writers to view the world from a different, higher vantage point. Consider what everyday activities look like from above and what stands out the most. How does the world look different from the bird’s view? Are humans’ concerns significant or trivial from this perspective? What overall patterns of behavior can be observed? This exercise may lead to insights about the interconnectedness of life, the rhythm of daily routines, and the prominence of nature amidst human activity.
