INTRODUCTION
Dear Ones,
This is the eleventh video in the Paramount Ranch series. There is a talk with a Songbird about whether I am lost. Also discovery of a Chalk Liveforever in a shallow gorge. And an astral talk with a large mammal … maybe a ranger, or possibly a coyote … about the chance that Mountain Lions are living in holes in the ground in Paramount Ranch. Also And an astral admonition by the ranger (or coyote) to ‘get out of there fast’.

INTRODUCTION
Dear Ones,
Here is the third and last video in the Holy Week series. I talk with a Mountain Lion and the Woodpeckers.
There is an edited Summary after the video …
VIDEO BY ALICE TURN YOUR AUDIO up HIGH to hear the Songbirds!
SUMMARY OF THE VIDEO
Alice to Readers: I was just asking the Songbirds if there were any ‘you know what’! … [sotto voce] … Mountain Lions! … over here. And over there [nods to left] the birds said …
It was an interesting bird. I don’t know what kind of bird. It said: They ate something really big and then they fell asleep.
Alice to Readers: This is my lucky day!
That might be a Scrub Jay over there [nods to left].
I am in Malibu Creek State Park, and I started going up Mott Road towards Salvation Army.
[That is Lawrence M. Daley Camp and Conference Center, Calabasas. The Salvation Army Camp is adjacent to the Tapia Park Public Use Area which is a subunit of Malibu Creek State Park. Also adjacent to Tapil Park is David Gonzalez Camp School, which is a juvenile detention center for Los Angeles Probation County Probation. Continuing with the video talk …]
And somebody over here [leans to right] said on the telepathic plane: Don’t go anywhere except where they TELL you to go.
Coyote [in a hushed, conspiratorial, mocking voice]: Ri-i-i-ght! Don’t go where we don’t TELL you to go. We really don’t WANT you to go up THAT road.
Alice to Readers: See? Mott Road to Salvation Army, right? …

. . . . .
Alice to Readers (continued): And then I started walking up this road [starts walking up a dirt road]. I will show you what happened …
Raven: DHARM! Don’t . walk . up . THAT . road . at . ALL. NOT AT ALL. NOT AT ALL. NOT AT ALL.
We have this landmark right here [on the righthand side of the trail]. See this big fallen tree trunk? …

What the Mountain Lion Sounded Like

Transcript: From this mountain over here [on the lefthand side of the trail] …

. . . . .
… I heard … It sounded like a far-away airplane …
Acorn Woodpecker: Listen! Listen! Listen! Listen! That’s a Mountain Lion over there.
Alice to Readers: It [the Mountain Lion] said: …
Acorn Woodpecker: Yes it was ! It was a BIG, BIG Mountain Lion!
Alice to Readers (continued): “Know that there is a Mountain Lion over here.” Only it didn’t sound female. The voice sounded male. It said [spoken in a lower voice]: Know that there is a Mountain Lion over here …
Songbird [in a hushed, carefully considering voice]: Ye-e-es. That IS what it sounded like.
So I am not going that way [up Mott Road] after all.

. . . . .
What a great hike this has been! The Mountain Lions caught something really, really big. And they ate so much that they fell asleep!
All the other animals are very relaxed right now. They get into such a dither when the Mountain Lions are so, so hungry! Remember? And right now everybody is very happy.
Even the Hawk gets along OK with the Songbirds right now. Everybody’s happy. I am happy too! There is not one story about a Mountain Lion stalking me.
Of course, this is a special week. There are a lot of school children on the trail, and a lot of grown-ups. Maybe that has something to do with it.
Look! California Poppies. Wow! …

CONCLUSION
In love, light and joy
This is Alice B. Clagett.
I Am of the Stars … and so are you!

Acorn Woodpeckers to Children: Pecker Pecker Pecker Pecker, Pecker Pecker Pecker Pecker, Pecker Pecker Pecker Pecker! That . Is. Me.
Alice to Woodpeckers: Woodpeckers! Woodpeckers! Awakening with Planet Earth! Woodpeckers?!
Songbird 1 [embarrassedly]: What the heck is that?
Songbird 2 to Songbird 1: I . Don’t . Know. what Is it . what Is it. But THANK you!
Alice to Woodpeckers: Woodpeckers! … Not real talkative today.
Songbird 1: WHAT IS IT?
Alice to Woodpeckers: What? What is it? YOU guys are there. The Songbirds and Woodpeckers. Yeah, YOU’RE there. I’m telling the people how to talk with YOU guys and get along better, I hope.
Acorn Woodpecker: Never never never never, Never never never never, Never never never never get along better!
Alice to Readers: Woodpecker!
Songbird: [background sound of children approaching]: What?!
Alice to Readers: Songbird! Songbird!
Hummingbird: What is she-e-e-e-e tal-l-l-lking about?
Alice to Readers: Songbirds are interested!
[sound of child roaring in the background] Songbird: What . Is it?
Alice to Woodpeckers: Woodpeckers OK?
Woodpecker [loudly] to Alice; Anger anger anger anger, Anger anger anger anger, Anger anger anger anger. What . Is . That . All . About?
Songbird: What?! WHAT is it?
Alice to Readers: Woodpecker? Yeah, they like it. [Not!]
Alice turns camcorder to Acorn Woodpeckers in an Oak Tree …
Songbird: What?! WHAT is it? WHAT is it?
Acorn Woodpeckers: Take a picture, take a picture, take a picture, take a picture [flies away] … [grouchily, subdued] God-dammit-all.
Songbird: What?!
Acorn Woodpecker 1: Don’t like take a picture, don’t like her-to take a picture. God-dammit-all.
Acorn Woodpecker 2: That CRANK-y [making a sound like a squeaky crank turning] stuff has got to go! Picture-taking is ok.
[sound of man approaching with children]
Coyote [sounding groggy, deep, whispered, jocular overlay]: He woke up Coyote. Coyote doesn’t WANT to wake up.
Songbird 1: WHAT?!
Alice to Woodpeckers: Hey!
Coyote [sounding groggy]: ‘Hey! woke me up too.
Hummingbird to Alice: What-is-it?
Alice to Birds: Hey, good morning!
Songbird [piping enthusiastically, speaking of Coyote, I think]: HERE he is! TAKE a PIC-ture! TAKE a PIC-ture!
Coyote to Alice: He doesn’t WANT you to take a picture!
Alice to Birds: Oh, yeah. Pleased to MEET you!
Coyote man [like the breath of a hushed wind – menacing, amused]: Pleased to meet you!
Woodpecker: God damn it all, she woke up that Coyote. [Flies to another tree.] … Ha . Ha . Ha . She thinks Coyote is another Bird! [Close! I didn’t know Coyote had woken up.]
Alice to Woodpecker: Bye! See you later!

[End of video]
NOTES
I didn’t hear Coyote talking till I reviewed the video. Looks like that man that was shouting and I woke Coyote up by mistake. Then Woodpecker got grousy about that. Songbird was alarmed, I missed out on taking a photo of Coyote. That’s life in Malibu Creek State Park, I guess.
Oh, yes! I meant to mention this: I was listening to the Coyote talk on the video and trying to figure it out. I listened over and over again. The doors were open from the room where I was to the back yard, so as to allow morning air cooling of my house.
The Coyote family in the juniper shrubs beyond my backyard fence heard the Coyote on the video, and started talking to me, contradicting what I figured the Coyote on the tape was saying. I think they were just being their usual tricky selves, though, so I didn’t change the transcript on account of Wiley Coyotes amongst the juniper shrubs. No way!

MORE INFORMATION
Tapia Public Use Area, where the mountain lion attack described in this KTLA 5 video took place, is part of Malibu Creek State Park …
Tapia is but a hop, skip and a jump from the main part of Malibu Creek State Park where my video “Holy Week 3: Mountain Lions Ate Something Really Big!” was filmed.
Malibu Creek State Park Campground is about two miles from Tapia Public Use Area, on a direct line between Tapia and the spot in Malibu Creek State Park where I was filming on 16 April 2025.
David Gonzalez Camp School is about a third of a mile from Tapia Public Use Area.
King Gillette Ranch and the Santa Monica Mountains Headquarters and Visitor Center are about 2.5 miles from Tapia Public Use Area.
Thus it is good to be mountain-lion savvy while in those areas.
PLAY THE VIDEO AT THE HIGHEST POSSIBLE VOLUME SO AS TO HEAR THE VOICES OF THE BIRDS. THESE ARE THE VOICES THAT ARE TRANSCRIBED IN THE CAPTIONS.

INTRODUCTION
Dear Ones,
Here is a big to-do amongst the birds: What ARE those animals? LISTEN AT HIGHEST POSSIBLE VOLUME so as to hear the birds and mammals as they speak what is in the captions.
Fasten your seatbelts! A few surprises are in store, so hang in there, and take this little trek into the unknown with me! There are two surprises at the very end of the film – a psychic impression (well, ok, maybe it’s that) and Mr. Raven finally reveals himself.
VIDEO BY ALICE
SUMMARY OF THE VIDEO When I did the transcript it seemed to me I had left out of the video captions some of the birds’ conversation. That is why there is more talk in the transcript than in the video.
Alice: Thank you. [I cannot figure out what they are saying.]
. . . . .
Alice: It’s the Rabbits!?
Scrub Jay: Not the Rabbit. Not the Rabbit. The Rabbit is NOT what it IS!
Alice: What is it? Is it a Fox?
Scrub Jay: Not a Rabbit. A Fox. Great big, mean #@%! Fox.
Alice: Where IS this Fox?
Laughing Bird: Ha, ha! SHE thinks it’s a RAB-bit!
Alice [looking into a dry streambed]: Down here there is a Fox’s den? Mean Foxes down there? … Do they hurt people?
Bird [hushed, fluting sound]: No, no! They won’t hurt people.
Scrub Jay 1 conversing: Let’s say it’s a Rabbit.
Scrub Jay 2: Why would we do THAT?
Scrub Jay 1: She might get up-SET if we say that it’s a FOX!
Alice: Goodness gracious! [starts walking] … Thank you for TALK-ing. Thank you very much! [skirting round a mud puddle] …
Scrub Jay 1: She’s THANK-ing us.
Scrub Jay 2: WHAT?
Alice: Kind of WET here.
Scrub Jay: Right!
Alice: Very, very WET!
Scrub Jay: Right! VERY, very WET! WET!
Alice: Goodness GRA-cious!
Scrub Jay 1: WET! Wet. Right, wet.
Scrub Jay 2: She THANKED us very MUCH.
Scrub Jay 1: Right. OH-kay.
. . . . .
First Scrub Jay: Real, real, real, real, VERY big, real, real Rabbit.
Second Scrub Jay: RIGHT! … Right. Right … REAL BIG.
Scrub Jay: GREAT, GREAT BIG Rabbit!
Raven [quietly]: NOT a RAB-bit!
Scrub Jay [embarrassed]: WHAT?! NOT a RAB-bit?
Raven [quietly]: NOT a RAB-bit!
Scrub Jay [embarrassed, caught out for fibbing]: WHAT?! NOT a RAB-bit?
Tiny Bird with high voice: He said it’s not a Rabbit.
Scrub Jay: Rabbit! Right, RIGHT! … BIG RABBIT.
Raven [very faint]: Not Rabbit. It’s a Fox.
Tiny Bird with high voice: He said it’s not a Rabbit.
Scrub Jay: Rabbit! Right, RIGHT! … BIG RABBIT.
Raven [very faint]: Not Rabbit. It’s a Fox.
Alice to Readers: What IS this animal? Can you hear the Woodpeckers? They are in favor of Rabbit.
They note that Raven favors Fox.
Scrub Jay comments: Right … Right … Right … GREAT BIG RAB-bit.
Alice: What?
First Scrub Jay: Real, real, real, real, real, real big!
Second Scrub Jay: Right, right, right! Great big, very mean RAB-bit!
. . . . .
What with greeting fellow hikers, and avoiding an illegal camper who is skulking about while hidden who knows where in the underbrush, and what with the canty calls of many keyed-up Blue Avian Star Beings, I am beginning to get the hint. Something is up! What could it be?
. . . . .
Mystery Animal is barking and howling loudly about 50 feet away. It sounds like a dog, but it doesn’t LOOK like a dog. Erring on the side of caution, I zoom in with the camcorder rather than moving closer to the commotion.

. . . . .
Alice [walking along the trail]: What WAS that?
Narrative (in italics)
I was going along here, in Cheseboro Canyon, and the Raven made a sound. It sounded like a Rattlesnake rattling. I asked: Is it a Rattlesnake? And the Raven said: Fox! Fox!
. . .
Raven [quite put out]: Not a Fox! NOT a Fox!
Songbird [tweeting]: What IS it?
Scrub Jay: @#%! What IS it?
Raven: STOP THAT!
Alice to Readers: I am getting close to the place [where that happened].
Raven [quite put out]: CA-YO-TAY not Fox. CA-YO-TAY not Fox. Stop that.
Narrative (continued)
Alice to Readers: And the Woodpeckers agreed. They said it a little differently. In Woodpecker dialect they said: Fox!
And I said: Well, is the Fox so mean?
And the Raven said: Lots of Foxes there … very mean Foxes. They will tear you limb from limb [and I got a visual image of a Raven’s wing being torn off].
I was thinking: This can’t be so! Can this possibly be so?
And then I saw two creatures when I was out that-away [points back farther on the trail]. I do not know what they are. One looked like a Coyote and one was red like a Fox.
. . . . .
Technical Note
When I use the camcorder zoom the viewfinder zoom is so small and indistinct that I cannot tell, while on ‘dirt time’, what I have captured in the video. On the way back to the trailhead I am just describing what I could distinguish about the animals through the underbrush at a distance of 50 feet.
Later when I viewed the video on my Movie Maker application, it looked to me that they were two Coyotes, one reddish and one grey-brown. Then I thought maybe the forest creatures thought the reddish Coyote was a fox because of its unusual color. I looked online and found that Coyotes can be very varied, including tan, gray, black, and reddish-brown. A red blonde coyote, while unusual in my own observational experience, is thus clearly not beyond the realm of possibility.
. . . . .
Narrative [continued)
Alice to Readers: I asked: Is that a Coyote? Is that a Fox?
One Raven said: Coyote! And the other Raven said: Fox!
And one of the Birds asked: Is it Coyote? … Is it Fox?
And Big Raven said: FOX!
. . .
Alice to Readers: I’m getting close [to the place where a Raven made the Rattlesnake sound].
Raven is talking.
Alice to Raven: Fox? … Fox already? … Back there?
Alice sees a Songbird on a log by the trail. As the Songbird flies off she says: SWEET Bird! SWEET Bird!
Songbird [tentatively, in a very quiet voice]: SWEET Bird. SWEET Bird.
Alice: SWEET Bird!
Nearby Songbird: Sweet, SWEET Bird! [and a trill]
Alice to Songbird: That’s right. Sweet, SWEET Bird! …
Songbird [tentatively, in a very quiet voice]: SWEET Bird. SWEET Bird.
Alice: SWEET Bird!
Songbird [tentatively, in a very quiet voice]: SWEET Bird.
Alice: Sweet Bird, I love YOU!
Nearby Songbird: Sweet, SWEET Bird! [Very quietly]: PLEASE don’t talk to my babies. You’ll WAKE them!
[What I thought might be Songbird babies, or maybe just very shy Songbirds, have been repeating ‘Sweet, Sweet Bird’ in very very quiet voices. I don’t know if you could hear them.]
Alice: OK.
Nearby Songbird: Sweet, SWEET Ehhh!
Alice: I love YOU!
Alice to Readers: ‘Don’t scare my babies’. That is what it said twice. [I realize this may be the wrong nesting season. Maybe this the Songbirds are making a joke, just as the Scrub Jays did?]
Raven is scolding.
Alice: Ok, ok, I’m leaving. Bye-bye … Bye-bye.
Songbird: Sweet, SWEET Bird!
[A big Raven to-do is going on …]
First Raven: CA-YO-TAY NOT FOX! NOT FOX!
Alice: Yes, please, don’t shout at me.
Second Raven: NOT FOX! NOT FOX! NOT FOX! NOT FOX! NOT FOX! NOT FOX!
Alice [in between the lines]: What? … I KNOW ..
Alice: FIVE Foxes! Oh, no!
[Alice, Have you ears to hear?]
Raven: Oh NO!
Alice [looking down into the dry creek bed]: DOWN THERE!
Hawk [shouting]: She CAN’T HEAR YOU!
Alice to Readers: Can you hear them? Can you figure out what they’re saying? … I’m trying to find the very MEAN foxes …
Alice to Ravens: BIG Foxes?
Raven [shouting]: CO-YO-TAY NOT FOX.
Alice to Raven: Very big Fox?
Raven [toning it down, as if exhausted with trying to get this across to me]: No, not Fox.
Alice to Raven: One? ONE Fox? Fox?
Hawk [keening loudly]: NOT A FOX. CA-YO-TAY! NOT A FOX. CA-YO-TAY!
Raven [interrupting, really annoyed]: NOT A FOX! NOT A FOX! NOT A FOX!
Alice: Fox Fox Fox Fox Fox Fox?
Hawk: DEAR Me!
Alice: Oh, NO!
Alice to Readers: I’m going over here. I’m scared of those Foxes.
Raven: NOT A FOX. CA-YO-TAY! NOT FOX.
Coyote [sly, jaunty, very sotto voce]: And they will eat you up. And they might really eat you up.

Raven [shouting]: EAT HER NOT UP NOT UP!
Woodpecker [chuckling]: Do-not-eat-her-Raven. Ha ha ha ha ha!
Alice to Readers: I can’t find that Raven. I don’t know where it is.
Raven [shouting]: I’m up here, up here, up here, up here, up here! Hawk, hawk, hawk, hawk! (etc)
A Man is talking. Could this be a psychic impression overlay?
The man sounds a little like Coyote in tone, but much more audible.
Alice: Hawk! Hawk!
[Here is Raven!]

INTRODUCTION
Dear Ones,
Here are the the first conversations in the “Chaparral Wildlife Chats” series. These magical encounters happened at the Faerie Dell in the Santa Monica Mountains, California.
There is a Summary after the video …
VIDEO BY ALICE
SUMMARY OF THE VIDEO
[Music]
Hello, Dear Ones, It’s Alice. I Am of the Stars.
Here I am at the Faerie Dell again for the first time since the person with the leaf blower came running down the hill and it looked like they were going to try to get into a fight with me. So we’ll see how it goes.
[There are Nanday parakeets talking.]
Nanday!
[I am walking along the trail.]
Nanday parakeets are talking.
I say: Nanday!
One of the Nandays says: She called us Nanday!
Another Nanday says: I KNOW that!
First Nanday: I said there was an Owl [in the Faerie Dell] and she says she doesn’t mind it!
Second Nanday: I know that TOO!
First Nanday: COVID-Stricken. #@!!! … COVID-Stricken, Goddamnit!
[Alice’s translation: Fear of death, or feeling of despair, or giving up and agreeing to die. I guess the Nandays have had enough of the human COVID mentality!]
First Nanday: Stop! Stop! Stop!
Alice to Readers: My gosh! That Owl must be one terrifying nighttime predator!
I made friends with some more Nandays just now. As to one Nanday in particular: I went into the Faerie Dell, and he couldn’t see me anymore, He got upset and he was saying: Where is Nanday?
And I said: Nanday … [You have to speak kind of quietly because Nandays have great hearing. You don’t want everyone to hear.]
And he said: There he is! Stop! Owl!
I said: I’m on the lookout for this terrorizing Owl!
Alice to Readers: I should tell you, I was walking down the path and talking to the Nandays … making friends with a new Nanday troupe …
[A big mistake is in the offing. Some big white Birds just heard the Nandays and thought they said my name is ‘COVID-Stricken’.]
… and I’ll be darned if two hiking ladies didn’t come down and pick up on it right away.
[A large, white Bird that is foraging on the forest floor says in a soft, chuckling voice to its siblings: “(She is) talking to a Parakeet.” Its siblings repeat this. A Rooster crows.]
The hikers started talking to them telepathically, and they knew just what they were saying. Isn’t it cool? Maybe one day the Nandays and other wonderful birds will be recognized for being people … along with human beings being people … and maybe we’ll all be very nice to them then.
Alice to Nanday: I LOVE you!
[The large white Bird says: Keet! Keet! Not a Turkey! A Guinea Fowl! … She says ‘I love you’! Goddammit! Is she COVID-Stricken, goddammit? Is she COVID-Stricken, dammit all!” I see it has picked up some swear words from the Nandays!]
Alice to Nanday: I LOVE you!
Alice to Readers: I trying that with the Rooster. The Rooster yesterday said ‘I love you’, but it was very domesticated.
We’ll see what happens.
Alice to Rooster: I LOVE you, Mr. Rooster!
[The large white Bird says with some exasperation: We are Keets, not Roosters! #%@#!]
Alice: I LOVE you.
Mother Keet: OKAY. STOP that!
Mother Keet says: “Here she comes!” Then it makes a loud call to warn its children that danger (meaning yours truly) is on the prowl.
Alice; The Keets like it. You guys do?
Rooster crows.
Alice to Readers: See the white bird? It says in a loud voice: Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh! Running, yes, I am running! … then quietly: Away! Yes, I am.
Alice to large white Bird (aka Mother Keet): Where did you go?
Mother Keet says in a soft voice: “Her will run away from you. Yes her will. Yes her will.”
Alice to Mother Keet: There you are!
Then there is another general alarm sound.
Mother Keet: For Pete’s sake, she has spotted me! For Pete’s sake, she has spotted me! I’ve got to get out of here right now!
[Four smaller white Birds are picking at the ground unconcernedly.]
Mother Keet: Oh Christ! My little chidren are not safe! No one will SAVE them!
Alice to Readers: Yikes. I never saw this before. Foraging Guinea Fowl, I think. I hope they’re friendly.
Mother Keet: Kids, get out of there! Kids, get out of there!
Alice to Young Keets: Are you guys friendly? Are you Turkeys?
Mother Keet: We’re not Turkeys! We’re Keets, goddammit!
Young Keet says softly: What is this all about? What does she mean, ‘We’re keets, not Turkeys?’
Mother Keet: Goddammit. She’s going to eat my children.
Alice to Young Keets: I LOVE you.
One Young Keet says softly: I love you too.
Alice to Young Keet: Thank you! (Says ‘I love you too!’)
Young Keet says bemusedly: “What does she say that for?” … and etc. along the same line.
Alice to Young Keets: I LOVE you!
Mother Keet: What does she SAY that for?
Alice to Young Keets: Thank you! I love you too!
Mother Keet: One of my children is coming over this way. Thank goodness it will be ok.
One of the Young Keets says: She says ‘I love you’ because she wants to make friends with us.
Mother Keet, bemusedly: That can’t be what it is about.
Alice, regarding Young Keet: What is that?
Young Keet: These are White African Guinea Fowl.
Alice to herself: Ok, I got it. These are White African Guinea Fowl, aka Guinea Keets … No, I think it’s a Turkey. Too big to be a Guinea Fowl. A young Turkey.
Alice to Young Keets: Turkey?
Another Young Keet: She’s repeating herself. She thinks we are not Guinea Fowl.
Young Keet to Alice: Guinea Keets. Not a Turkey.
Alice to Young Keet: Oh. Not a Turkey, yes?
Rooster crows: I believe that too!
Alice to Young Keets: I LOVE you.
Young Keet says, in a small voice: Love you too, COVID-Stricken!
{Alice; Akh, no!]
Another Young Keet says: Her name is COVID-Stricken?
Alice (using Keet way of talking): Uh OV u. [I love you.]
First Young Keet: Yes, yes.
First Young Keet: Her name is COVID-Stricken?
Second Young Keet: Yes, that’s what it is.
First Young Keet: I love you too, COVID-Stricken?
Second Young Keet: Yes, that’s what to say.
Young Keets are heading over towards the Mother Keet.
Hummingbird to Alice: S-s-s-s-stop that!
Alice to Hummingbird: Okay. Don’t talk to that being back there.
Mother Keet to Alice: Jesus Christ, leave my #@@! children alone!
Mother Keet instructing Young Keets: I love you too. Just say it. (etc.)
First Young Keet: Maybe we should try saying ‘COVID-Stricken’ again and again. Do you think that would make her very happy?
Second Young Keet: Yep. It really might.
[Alice: Awww!]
Alice (sees which Young Keet is talking): I got it. That one.
Mother Keet: Oh no! She’s identified my offspring.
Alice; Yep!
First Young Keet: I’m going to talk to her right now and see what happens. I’ll be repeating ‘COVID-Stricken’. Get ready. Here I go …
Second Young Keet: Don’t forget ‘I love you too’.
First Young Keet (repeating to itself): Please say, ‘I love you too’. ‘I love you too’.
Mother Keet [in the background]: Don’t hurt my offspring. Don’t hurt my offspring. Don’t hurt my offspring. (etc.)
First Young Keet: ‘COVID-Stricken Thing’ five or six times?
Second Young Keet: Ok, go ahead with that COVID-Stricken Thing.
Alice to herself: A lot of things are happening in a very delicate way.
Mother Keet: Yep, They are.
Alice to Young Keets; ‘Bye! See you later! I LOVE YOU
Hummingbird: Just say it! … PLEASE @#@! SAY it.
First Young Keet: COVID-Stricken, I really love you. I really do.
Second Young Keet: Try ‘COVID-Stricken, I really DO love you.’ Try that.
First Young Keet: Ok. I’ll try ‘COVID-Stricken, I really DO love you’ and then see what happens.
Mother Keet: THAT’S IT. Just SAY THE RIGHT THING. SAY THE RIGHT THING>
Alice to Young Keets: I LOVE you. I LOVE you.
Mother Keet: That’s enough, @#@! it!
Second Young Keet: Try five or six times.
First Young Keet: Ok, I’ll try five or six times. Watch me. Here I go five or six times.
Second Young Keet: Ok.
Alice to Mother Keet: ‘Bye, Momma. ‘Bye.
Alice to Readers: Well, Here we are.
First Young Keet: All right. Here we go. COVID-Stricken, I really DO love you. That’s one time. COVID-Stricken, I really DO love you. That’s two times. COVID-Stricken, I really DO love you. That’s three or four times. I forgot how many times.
Mother Keet: Forgot how many?
Hummingbird: Hee hee! That was three!
Mother Keet (in a hushed voice): I forgot how many too.
Hummingbird: It’s really all right.
Alice: ‘Bye, everybody. I LOVE you. I LOVE you.
Mother Keet (with babies gathered round her): Yep, yep, yep. THANK you very much. THANK you very much for not eating my children!
Mother Keet: Why is she saying that?
Alice to herself: I love you too? … One did say that.
Second Young Keet: What can I say? We did our best with that.
Alice to Young Keets: I LOVE you.
Hummingbird: It’s really ok.
Alice to Young Keets: I LOVE you.
Hummingbird: S-s-s-stop it.
Hummingbird to other Hummingbirds (whispering): I really hate to say this, but she just won’t stop saying that.
Alice to Readers: I’ll be. I was telepathing to myself: I really hate to say what’s going to be happening to those Turkeys later on.
Telepathically it sounded like there were a man, a woman, and a child in the house by the dry streambed. Somebody up there by the house … I don’t know if it is a Dog or a Human Being … I think it was the man of the house … said, ‘No, that’s not what’s going to happen to them. Thank goodness.
The Mother Keet is overjoyed to hear this. It says: Thank goodness they’re not going to be doing anything to us! … and etc. etc. from the Young Keets. I also am greatly relieved.
Alice to herself: They’re singing a song!
Mother Keet, overjoyed: #$@!! She says there is a man up there and she doesn’t know if it is a Man or a Dog. Isn’t that funny?
The Young Keets enthusiastically agree.
Alice to herself: Is she talking to you, I wonder?
Mother Keet: Don’t mention anything else.
Alice: Ok, not any more.
A Young Keet says: Listen here. Just LISTEN. They’re not going to KILL us!
Then there are questions from and proclamations of the good news by the other small Keets.
Alice to Readers: The baby Turkeys are saying to the mother …
Mother Keet: Not Turkeys, Keets! Please don’t say any more. They might decide to kill Turkeys and not us!
Alice to Readers, continued: I don’t know if you could tell. She said she loved me.
A Young Keet says: She said she loved me … I love you too!
The other Young Keets repeat: I love you too!
Mother Keet: YEAH, I love you too! I really love you too!
Alice to Keets: Yes I do!
Alice to Readers (misconstruing): Momma’s saying now she does not love the Turkeys.
Mother Keet to Alice: Please don’t say that we are Turkeys!
Mother Keet to Young Keets: I’m telling you, that Woman is not all that COVID-Stricken!
Alice to Readers: Well, I’m telling you! There’s a lot of species phobia amongst the Birds. Of course, they have good reasons for doing it.
Mother Keet: Yes, we do have those good reasons.
Alice to Readers: The moms are always trying to keep their babies safe; and they say, ‘Don’t talk to strange species’ … especially strange people.
Mother Keet: I’LL SAY! That’s what we say!
Alice to Readers: Can you hear it? That’s what they’re saying over and over again. It’s a definite lesson …
Hummingbird to Alice: Yes, it is!
Man from the house (?): I’ll say! That was really quite a confrontation.
Alice to Readers: I am definitely the odd man out, here! … and only a Human Being.
Look at this creek here! … What will I do? … Oh, look at this creek! Wow, here it is! It’s near the end of May, and the creek’s still flowing. It’s a bumper year for water, and a beautiful day.
Rooster crows: Yes, it is!
Alice to Readers: Absolutely beautiful day in the Faerie Dell.
it’s been a long time since I’ve seen any Faeries here.
We’ll have to wait for brighter day. They like to dance in the sunlight. I hear they like to dance in the Moonlight, but I’m not around here then.
Well that’s all for now from the Faerie Dell.
[Don’t stop viewing now. A Codicil is about to pop up.]
God bless you all,
And keep you safe,
And be with you
Through all your days.
In love, light and joy

I Am of the Stars … and so are you!

NOTES: In this video, many Birds are talking at the same time. It was hard for me to hear what all the Birds were saying because of the clamor.
I had never spoken with Guinea Fowl before as well, and that made it harder to understand.
I just said, “… world class WordPress website …” and I heard something from the trees mocking me. It said, “She said world class WordPress website!”
And I said, “Who is that?”
And they said they’re the Woodpeckers.
Alice to Woodpeckers: You guys have a pretty good vocabulary. [This is telepathically.] Would you say something out loud?
Woodpeckers (telepathically): We don’t want to say anything out loud.
Hummingbird: Listen to that!
Alice to Woodpeckers: Why not?
Hummingbird: There is nothing there!
Alice to Woodpeckers: Why not? … I do too understand your telepathic language! … I can’t hear your other language! [Then I make a clucking sound to reassure them.]
Alice to Readers: They say, Yeah, they do do that. I’m not getting very far with the Woodpeckers today. We’ll see what else is going on.
Hummingbird to Alice (precursing): Please don’t say that.
Alice to people in house (if there are any there): If there are any people over there, I sure hope they don’t scare away the Faeries. This is awful! No Faeries! And Elves, and Gnomes … Would you please not scare them away? It has been a long time. They’re hiding. It has been years.
Man [telepathically]: We don’t do anything to frighten them away.
Alice to Readers: Somebody just said … a lady just said, “Thanks, Alice. We’ll put a treat out for them.
That would be the lady of the house that telepathically talked to me just now.
As you may know, that’s an old habit in the old country, and it seems to work very well indeed.
Hummingbird: Listen to this!
Rooster crows: Yes it will work!
. . . . .
Alice to Readers: That Rooster doesn’t want to say, “I love you. I love you.” [Trying for Rooster dialect …] “Ur Urov U.”
Hummingbird: Jesus! [i.e., the absurdity of this notion!] … Listen to this!
Rooster crows: I do not love!
Alice to Rooster (addressing the fine crowing sound and not the words): Very good! That’s better and better! Good work! Thank you! Very good! … [modeling the words] I LOVE you!
Songbird: Holy Jesus, she want’s the Rooster to say ‘I love you’.
Telepathically, a Human Child is saying to the Human Woman: Unbelievable situation, Momma. She wants the Rooster to say, ‘I love you’.
Alice to Human Child: Thank you, young one!
Alice to Readers: Young One over there … Young Human One … says she’ll work on that thing.
Alice to Rooster: I LOVE you … Good work!
Songbird: Over and over she says that thing.
Alice to Readers: You hear that? I think it’s catching on. ‘I love you’. And soon everybody will say that. ‘I love you.’ Good, good. ‘I love you’. Good work! ‘I love you. I love you’. Thank you. You’re doing great.
Wow. I’m bowled over. I am. Thank you.
. . . . .
Hummingbird: COVID-Stricken Not!
Alice to Readers: Life is full of unexpectability, isn’t it? You never know what’s coming next.
Alice: Who is that? What?!
Alice to Readers: Guinea Keets. Not ‘Keeties’ … Guinea Keets … Had enough? I have. This was a long video.
