  • Birds are so fragile and vulnerable

    A friend sent me this and I though I'd shear it.

    Birds are so fragile and vulnerable. These amazing photos captured a drama with two of these little creatures that is every bit as poignant and heart-wrenching as any human story. Kudos to the photographer. The newspapers that carried these photos sold out in every country.

    HIS EYE IS ON THE SPARROW

    A female bluebird was hit by a car as she swooped low across the road, and the condition was soon fatal.

    Her male mate brought her food and attended her with love and compassion.

    He brought her food again, but was shocked to find her dead.

    He tried to move her - a rarely seen effort.

    Aware his mate was dead and would never come back to him

    again, he cried out with adoring love

    . . . and stood beside her with sadness and sorrow.


    Millions of people were touched after seeing these photos in America, Europe, Australia, and even India. The photographer sold these pictures for a nominal fee to the most famous newspaper in France. All copies of that edition sold out on the day these pictures were published.

    And many people think animals and birds don't have brains or feelings.

      the sad thing about birds and cars is......

      instinct tells the birds to go down to pick up speed....hence putting them in greater danger...

        A pleasure to watch the birds I always feed them too Joe, the hawks are bad for swooping on the smaller birds, but they have to eat too, I wonder why they don't swoop on the meaty squirrels, who rob the birdseed?

          I put out food for all the birds, not fond of wood pigeons or magpies
          the magpies spend more time trying to chase away the pigeons than eating
          have a lot of birds feeding in the last week
