Oh yes, the birds can be beautiful, but the birds can also be very funny.
Look at the beauty of this swallow posing for me.
And after the three pictures of the swallow model, I will show you a funny occurrence.
A bit of creativity here, as life can really stress one out and a laugh is always very good medicine. On Sunday night we went to a local restaurant to watch our Springboks play a rugby match in the World Cup against France. It was an electrifying match, as both teams were evenly matched, and the Boks won the match with one point. The result caused this town to come alive as our people went crazy after the win, and it was strange to hear and see so much happiness in the streets late at night, as usually everyone is asleep at this time.
But come and have a look at what I have to share.
This is a White-throated Swallow of the species, (Hirundo albigularis).
It is an intra-African migrant that lives near water, and they make their nests under bridges.
Now for the laugh.
A Pied Crow landed near a male Egyptian goose and I knew that something was going to happen, as the geese are not very fond of crows.
The goose looked at me, then he looked at the crow and the goose said. "Excuse me Mr. Crow, I was here first and could you kindly go away.
You can see that the goose had a good upbringing, as he was very polite :)
But of course the crow didn't listen and the goose shouted; What kind of the leaving part don't you understand?
Nope, this was a stubborn crow and then the stuff hit the fan.
BUGGER OFF! The angry goose stormed towards the crow and the crow got such a fright that he flew right out of the picture :)
Only then did I realize that it was a young crow, as he ran (flew) to complain about the goose to his mother that was sitting in the shade of a tree.
Of course, his mother didn't listen to him and that's why crows are so rude. Their parents leave them to learn their own lessons. Now I wonder how many of us have had the same experience in life. Dare I say that some of us are geese and others are crows in the manner that we go through life?
Our work at Papillon is not for the faint hearted, as even as we give, we have the grabbers and the rude. It takes nothing from making a person feel good, but rudeness can leave a lifelong imprint on the soul. Thinking less of another person for whatever reason is never an excuse to be rude to them. Understanding is the best thing in the world, and I hope that I have brought a smile to your face today.
I hope that you have enjoyed the pictures.
