Leaves are falling all around, colder winds are blowing and birds are gathering in preparation for the journey south. One bird refuses to accept this development. Most of all, he is upset that his favourite perch is losing its leaves. He tries to protect it from anything that threatens status quo, but try as he might he is unable to avert this inevitable course of time.
