For The Birds

Birds remind me

of people:

flocking together

when their feathers 

are alike,

yet each and every

plumage and

personality is 

unique.

But they don't go

creating trouble they

know they can 

go without,

or take what they

don't need.

Maybe our world

really is for the

birds;

they're definitely better

than some humans.

I went to the Reifel Bird Sanctuary, where there are fascinatingly different species living there than in Toronto. I fed a lot of the birds there, and probably about 80% were some sort of waterfowl (ducks, coots, geese, grebes, etc.) When I was watching their behaviour, they really did remind me of people... but considering how some people treat the world, maybe the birds are much better behaved, don't you think?
