Birdy, she's always watching
With the arrival of spring, Birdy is out in her garden doing what she loves most: bird-watching.
Year after year she looks out for them and year after year they come back, Ginnie, Pete, and little Jack (Sparrow). But what happens when she gets too close, and passion turns into obsession?
