Picture of a Thousand Words: The Cross Country Bird

Birds are an example of animals that are highly sensitive to their environment. They can sense an impending drought years in advance and migrate to regions with better climatic conditions that suit their needs. The image of a bird flying symbolizes a story of famine in the land and how this bird was able to use bravery method to catch an ocean fish to appease other birds in another territory where its aims to migrate.

In a certain country, there is often a scarcity of resources, including food and water, affecting both humans and animals. This period is particularly challenging, as even birds are seen migrating to better countries where water and human activities are more abundant.
But it wasn’t an easy journey crossing the borders of the country to a better place. The only way was over water. The birds could spend up to seven days flying without resting to reach a more comfortable environment.

This is a bird that successfully crossed to the other side of the country after flying for seven whole days. Due to the long flight time, most birds do not frequently embark on this journey; instead, they starve to death. But this brave bird spent its days flying across the region, growing so tired that it had to reduce its altitude to continue its flight. It couldn’t land on moving ships because it feared being captured by passengers and taken to an unfamiliar land or even killed. It never chose the option of landing on boats in the ocean. It had to keep its resilience until it not only crossed but also found better vegetation where it could see other birds and mingle with them.

Animals also consider the need for reproduction, persisting until they are almost exhausted in their quest to find mates. This bird understood the importance of bringing gifts before entering the territory of other birds. Its clever idea was to trade ocean fish for a warm welcome and assistance, especially in the territory where the Great Blue Heron and Great Egret reside.
These areas are filled with abundant natural vegetation and provide ample sustenance and food. The bird also stooped down to watch for fish to catch, but the ocean divers wouldn't permit it due to the water activities. Some could be seen driving their speedboats towards the beautiful bird.

The young bird was concerned that people might misunderstand its intentions if it tried to pick fish from the ocean. It had to use wisdom by moving to one end of the bank to see if there were any playful fish there. As it went, it caught one fish resting on the surface of the bank. Quickly, it made the catch in order to have a gift to present to the king bird upon its arrival.
