Hush

"Will you just hush for a minute," Brian turned on Sonny who had been
complaining he was bored. "The birds here are wild not caged like at the zoo. If
you continue to talk that loudly they don't hand around." The fact that his
voice had risen to match or exceed his brother's totally escaped him.

"Will to two hush up," came Adam's exasperated voice, "I'd just lined up a
perfect shot of a tuatara, which is now back in his burrow to escape the bloody
chattering brats. I swear next time I came to Zealandia I'm leaving you two
behind."

Brian was looking into the distance "Hush," he hissed "Fantail dead ahead." The
little group went home with a picture of the shyest bird in the sanctuary.
