The Birds of the Summer

[jdvanwijk]

I'd appreciate some help on this one, thanks in advance.

Title feels a bit clunky. Maybe consider something like "Summer birds" as a title or something different altogether?

Fluttering frantically A bit of a tongue-twister compared to the rest of your poem.
nestled to the side The meaning of this line doesn't call for a line break here, I think
of their bath
filled to the brim Can you think of a more creative way to say this?
splashing, stretching "Stretching" I found a bit confusing, it caused a small stutter in my reading, it read like "stretching water" at first. (Hmm, which is actually a nice image. )
spilling water to the garden bed
refugees
from the blistering summer heatI like "refugees from the (blistering) summer heat", maybe you could do without the word "blistering" and make the reader feel the blistering in an image?
family
bonding in simplicity"Family bonding in simplicity" I find a bit vague. Also the combination of "family" and "bonding" feels clichéd.
in simplicity...This repetition doesn't add to the meaning of the poem I think.
content to breathe.Good last line.

I think this poem needs work, but I like the message you're trying to communicate. The first half especially could be worked out I think, the descriptions feel a bit mundane, maybe you can describe the birds playing in a more creative way?
