Every morning, he would sit on his porch with a cup of tea and a handful of birdseed, ready to greet his feathered friends. One day, a curious young boy named Alex moved in next door. He noticed the colorful array of birds always perched around Mr. Thompson’s house and asked him how he managed to attract so many birds.

Over the following weeks, Alex started joining Mr. Thompson in his morning routine.
