Hiyu: Do you hear what we hear?
Me: I hear Arna snoring.
Loki: Not the dog.
Kuri: Listen!
Me: Are you talking about the bird song?
Hiyu: Of course, we are.
Loki: We want to go out and play.
Me: Sorry, you have to stay on this side of the glass.
Hiyu: See that little bird? I bet I can catch him.
Me: That’s a hummingbird.
Kuri: What about that bird over there. He’s big enough to play with us.
Me: That’s a bald eagle. He’s big enough to eat you.
Kuri: How about one of those red-tailed hawks.
Me: Same thing.
Loki: How about that big bird over there.
Me: I’m sure the neighborhood peacocks don’t want to play with you either. 
Loki: How about a robin or a sparrow? Can they come in and play?
Me: Why don’t we just enjoy their songs while we play with your toys.
Hiyu: You better make it challenging cause I’m in the mood to hunt.
Kuri: Me too.
Loki: I just want to make more friends.
