Marvelous birds

Birds are marvelous.

They, at least most, can actually get airborne and fly under their own power.

Birds are marvelous.  I love them.  They are cool.  They have one-way lungs(air makes a single pass, not back and forth like us).  They have feathers that can keep them warm or cool.  They do all this and most of them look good doing it!

We can learn a lot from birds.

The gulls here at the beach, will come up to us to get free bread.  They will get close, but only so close.  There is a line they will not cross.  We need those boundaries.



The gulls right here, right now, are all immature.  Their parents hatched them, fed them, and taught them the basics.  Now they are on their own.  We need to do the same for our hatchlings.

The birds fulfill the tasks for which they were created.  Vultures clean up the dead.  Martins eat pounds of mosquitoes.

The Galapalagos finches adapt their beaks to fit their environments.

We would do well to be more like the birds.  We would do well to look at the birds and learn from the birds, see:

26"Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?
