Birds

Seen only as flesh, man's strength to refresh, plumed fields to thresh, we harvest their creche

Brain size of a pea but smart as we, with murderous decree we butchered the avarie

Long before man was around no longer bound to the ground with feathers the sky they found

For heaven we search while they sit in lofty perch of pine or birch while we in a ground bound church

Birds may have the brain of a pea, but they are smart creatures... and splendid creatures, not meant to be slaughtered....they are a part of our universe and should be treated with respect....they fly through the sky with grace and ease and probably were here long before us!
Thanks for sharing Soren
Warmly, B

Thank you so much Betty your words are deeply valued. Yes I and many others have too long underestimated the intelligence and value of our foul friends. Amazing how smart is a crow, smarter they say than a chimp and who knows maybe us as well.

My pleasure!

Birds are beautiful creatures sometimes I question the morality of having them as pets. Its quite sad to see such an innocent animal in a cage when its meant to sore the skies. Overall solid piece, Keep writing!

[Soren]

Thank you so much for the review and understanding words. Yes I agree with the cage issue. As we get to know more and more about other animals we find that they are no less intelligent than we just different. Crows can tell one person from another remember acts of kindness and cruelty, Have empathy, can reason, plan ahead, communicate, and have great memory.
