I talked with my bird
friend just the other day.
Oh, it’s not that
difficult….we have a way.
He answers my questions
with a flip of his wing.
Or now and then he will
maybe even sing.
There is always a
language between man and beast.
Don’t search for
words….they matter the least.
Birds and I manage
quite well to commune.
With an owl we always
talk in the light of the moon.
I now understand that
with a twist of his head,
He’s saying, “I’m
sorry, but explain what you just said”.
It’s rather like taking
a walk with a friend.
Often it helps your
troubled life to mend.
I watch the birds tend
their babies with such care.
This parental act of
love they’re willing to share.
I always leave them a
favorite kind of meal,
Something that has
definite “Bird Appeal”.
Then I say “Thank You”
with my grateful “Goodbye”,
As I watch my winged
friends soar into the sky.
Oh, what a great way to
finish my day,
To hear what my bird
friends have to say.
Our Creator sends us
messages from every direction.
I happen to think birds
are his best selection.
So, on your next visit to
the World Bird Sanctuary, if you find yourself having a conversation with the
birds who visit our feeders, or one of our many exhibit birds, don’t worry—no
one will think anything of it. It’s
probably something we have all done at one time or the other. At WBS it’s not at all unusual to find
people talking to the birds….and each person has their own interpretation of
the answer they receive in return.
