A Few Words In Praise of Birds

Why birds like us? Most people enjoy watching birds, even people who have never seen active birds. Although birds are less like us in appearance and habits than other mammals, birds retain a special place in our hearts.

One of the reasons why birds pick up our imagination is that they can fly, while we are still trapped here on Earth. What is the child who has not seen a bird above him and dreams of being there in the sky flying beside him? Unless adults, at one time or another, want to be able to take the wing out of all their daily problems and take care of them? Birds are natural symbols of freedom and escape. After all, what could improve our vision of pure freedom better than the ability to fly to the sunset?

Birds can rise above them and can also cover large distances. They are familiar with the bird's view of one building, park, whole city or landscape, making them ideal metaphor for a new perspective on the situation or for a greater view of the problem.

Birds often symbolize other things, such as the characteristics and attributes of human figures. There are proud peacock birds, noble eagle, magpie thief, crows, cherries, bills and birds love birds. Swanplas are an ideal image of grace and elegance in motion. The falcon is the symbol of war, the symbol of the dove for peace.

What attracts us to birds? Birds have feathers, soft texture and pleasure to look at. Feathers seem to come in an endless array of beautiful colors and patterns, from beautiful dirt tones from a common house bird to a peacock colored, peacock colored. Birds are beautiful artworks signed by nature. Their feathers add color and look at a monk. Their colors may also refer to many local places and associations.

For example, these small round birds are familiar, comfortable and familiar to those living in temperate climates. They are our friends and neighbors in the backyard. American and blue cardinals are very blue, and the exhilarating scenes are worth seeing on gray days, from tips of tail feathers to imaginary peaks on their heads. They are a little more bizarre, but friends of the backyard are still familiar. Then there are those birds that live in strange distant places, such as African pink flamingos and tropical parrots, who practice wonderful tropical colors. We love them, not only for their wonderful colors, but also for their association with remote lands and exotic adventures.

Birds also come in a large variety of shapes and sizes, which increases their attractiveness. We can connect them, as far as they are, we, we have two eyes, one mouth and two similarities. However, they also do not resemble us. They have distinct inconsistencies, from small beak bubbles of birds to the giant Toccan tip. They have wings, unlike human weapons more than those of other mammals, or even reptiles. In fact, when their wings are narrowed, birds seem to have no weapons at all. They also have thin, bare legs and claws. Their heads and heads flow smoothly to their bodies. Their shapes create graceful lines, whether round like a light European robe, like an African parrot, or as elegant as the Royal Swan.

Yes, birds are nice to look at, but the beauty of birds is not limited to the visual aspects of shape and color alone, because birds also fill the air with music. They seem to give us their song simply to entertain them, and they do not ask for anything in return. Like a garden full of colorful flowers, the colors and songs of birds are trivial and far away in a world full of harsh realities. It seems as if she has put on the ground expressly to make life more beautiful. they were not. Their color and song serve biological purposes in the process of natural selection, but this does not prevent us from enjoying such scenes and sounds. We can listen to free concerts and take advantage of the fun and quiet of the experience. We can also be amused when some species of birds mimic our sermons.

Another characteristic of birds that humans respond to is the fact that they build nests. They seem to be very diligent, and we see them wonderfully because each type of bird builds its nest of species, ranging from a simple group of branches to a masterpiece of handicrafts. "Nest" comfortable word. Birds build their comfortable nests, take care of their young, and raise their families, all in spring or summer. We appreciate their patience, dedication and care for their children. Observe and admire the innumerable trips of parents from and to the nest to feed severely chicks. Birds provide good models for parents.

Yes, birds are local habitats during the nesting season, but they also migrate. Birds enjoy freedom and access, many of which cover large distances each year, and move between summer and winter houses. They are social creatures, moving in flocks and creating great goggles while flying. A glimpse of a V-shaped swarm of geese rises above us and conveys something in Vienna. We admire their strength and endurance in carrying out such arduous journeys year after year. We also envy them, because they are free to transcend political boundaries and across continents. We in the North regret to see them part of each chapter, and we are happy to see them coming back every spring. The return of such birds, such as grafts, indicates the return of spring, with its promise of birth and renewal.

In every chapter, we can welcome them back in our midst, in almost every place where humans live, birds also live. Birds cover the ground. There are a variety of bird species to fill every ecological environment on Earth and contribute to its balance by doing things like eating insects and dispersing plant seeds. There are ducks and moorhens of rural ponds. There are birds living in the forest. There are birds in the mountains and birds in deserts. The restricted oceans contain papaphos and strong horses. Even frozen and icy places have their own birds, and beloved penguins.

Birds adapt to many different habitats and situations, including human environments. Pigeon is often overlooked is a beautiful bird. (I've been keen to be passionate about the many singles pigeons over the years). As an element, they were able to adapt to the modern views of the city, replace the cliff-like crowds, and bridge the beams to the cliffs of their rock ancestors. Other bird species may be less tolerant of such disorders and avoid the parasitic eyes of humans.

Wherever they choose to live, birds remain a symbol of wild nature, despite human intervention with their habitats. They remain proud and free to this day. It is also a living link to the mysterious and wonderful life history of our planet, where birds are the heirs who are still alive to the dinosaurs. One look at uninhibited children's birds, with their huge beaks and legs, is easy to see in a dinosaur.

Each of us may have a special reason, or a set of reasons, for loving birds, but their appeal is indisputable and universal. Birds represent an ideal combination of beauty, strength, softness and endurance, from attracting the little bird to the grandeur of grandeur. Birds fill the eye and ear with beauty. We enjoy it. We admire them. Sometimes we envy them. It greatly adds to the quality of our lives and the diversity of life on earth, and the world will be a smaller, sadder, and more desolate place without them.
