The German poem "The Three Sparrows" by Christian Morgenstern (see below) dates from 1921 (Era of Expressionism).
Because of copyright, I can't simply translate the poem, but the content is about the three sparrows Erich, Franz and the "cheeky" Hans, who sit in a bare hazel bush in winter.
The poem describes in impressive atmospheric density the protection and security that the three little birds can give each other in the icy cold, with Hans, who sits in the middle, he has the warmest.
Die drei Spatzen
In einem leeren Haselstrauch
Da sitzen drei Spatzen, Bauch an Bauch.
Der Erich rechts und links der Franz
Und mitten drin der freche Hans.
Sie haben die Augen zu, ganz zu,
Und obendrüber da schneit es, hu!
Sie rücken zusammen dicht an dicht.
So warm wie der Hans hats niemand nicht.
Sie hören alle drei ihrer Herzlein Gepoch.
Und wenn sie nicht weg sind, so sitzen sie noch.
(Das Gedicht "Die drei Spatzen" schrieb Christian Morgenstern 1921, Epoche des Expressionismus).
A tale by the Brothers Grimm:
A king has three sons: the eldest and the middle one are brave and strong, but the youngest is gullible and naïve, so he is called Simpleton. One day, the king casts three feathers into the air, and when they land, each of his children should follow to see where it leads. Simpleton discovers the feather has landed in a lake or pond where a toad lives that speaks in rhyme.
The king asks for marvellous gifts - impossibly difficult to find, or make - for his sons to show him: a carpet, made by the finest craftsmanship and a ring of extraordinary splendour as a second gift. Simpleton manages to produce the items in front on his father, to the jealousy of his older brothers, who are against the idea that he should inherit the kingdom.
For a final task, the king asks for the princes to bring a woman or bride that can do acrobatics and pirouettes so fantastical that they can pass through a very small ring. Simpleton presents his case to the talking toad, who orders another frog of his pond to embark into a carriage pulled by mice and to present themselves in court. When the carriage arrives, out comes a beautiful princess, who performs the impossible feat and earns the hand of Simpleton and the kingdom.

Three geese showing me that they were not amused when I walked closer to them. This shot was taken in the wayside park on Scott County Road 101 in Shakopee, Minnesota.
I do not know for sure what species of goose they are - probably Greylag. I would appreciate it if anyone knows for sure.
I was on a dirt road in who knows where back country in Virginia when I came across this group standing in the rain watching me go by. I had to get out and take some photos
American Wigeon (top), Redhead and Mallard duck (bottom) swimming together in Trade Winds Lake in Fairfield Harbour, NC. From 75 ft. away through my glass storm door...because it's too damn cold outside. Not the greatest photo, but rare having this group together.

The wonderful Blue Mountains, 2 hours west of Sydney. This is the 3 sisters, a very popular tourist destination, overlooking the beautiful Megalong valley.
A storm rolled through as I pulled in and I grabbed my camera for the show. To the astute observer, there will be something odd with these shots. :-)
I saw those three trees on the flank of a hill back in January in Damüls on an evening walk. They stand in a triangle on this empty slope in the shadow, while the clouds in the background are hit by the light of the setting sun.
Today was a beautiful, mild winter day. First signs of spring were visible as you can see: this snowdrop was one of many in a forest near our house. The illuminated bokeh in the background is from a birch tree with still most of its (brown) leaves hanging at it. So, this picture is taken in winter (februari), first blossom as a sign of spring and in the background still some old leaves giving a beautiful golden bokeh representing autumn.

These three Rainbow Lorikeets seemed to be having quite a discussion. It looked like the one on the lower right was being told to make itself scarce.
And shortly after, an ex-stickleback thanks to this stunning local kingy. He has quite a high success rate compared to many kingies I have seen.
