...... I love those birds in front of our house, they chirp and sing beautiful melody and it lighten up the atmosphere and make our live more beautiful and interesting... There are a few families of squirrel too that live in the crevice of the drain nearby.... the would come out off and on to play on our little garden...... This small garden on our patio consist of a fishing pond, a few waterfall of a sort in large bowls where water plants grows lushly... the trickle of water that fall from the small fountain makes noise which would otherwise would not be the sound of our garden.... This tripping of water... the bird chirping and singing, bring back nostalgic past of my childhood days where birds and insects noise was a normal thing and would be just taken for granted... Now living in the city where the the atmosphere is polluted with noise made by machines, cars and the like.... the sound of small birds chirping indeed a welcome relief and soothing to hear.... We have learn to block those sounds of machine, cars and the like in our modern world.... So the sound of birds, the patting of rain water always bring great relief to the monotony of daily life in city.... We live not that far away from the centre of the city.... but like any suburban area.... the atmosphere is not as good as those that are in the rural area, where greens are abundant and the air is always fresh....From time to time I would feed those birds that frequent the lawn in front of our house with leftover bread.... Cuts into small pieces I would throw it on the grass and let the bird to enjoy their meals of the day.... Sometime birds from afar away, like the crows would arrived in numbers to feed on those leftover bread..... It is interesting to see how the smaller birds would fly away when this big black crows take over to feeds and they would soon return to feed when the crows left..... I guess that this small birds are afraid to be eaten by those big crows, for I know for certain that crows eats anything when they are hungry and small birds like the house robin would be an easy pray to the crows..... This Friday morning the sky is blue with patch of rain clouds and the sun is bright as usual.... making those creature and birds that live among the bushes happy and lively.... So I believe they are going to be happy eating those leftover bread on such a beautiful day..... Seeing those birds, the other insects in a merry mood really makes my day... I love to have them around and it create a really beautiful feeling that could not be replace with any other means.... Nature provides all those for us to enjoy.... so to harvest these benefit we all have to be sensitive to the environment as well as all those creature that makes the outdoor their home.... Those insects, the birds, the bees, the floral and fauna and us human are part of the eco system, so to enjoy living on this blue planet of ours, we must learn to respect and share with every inhabitants that share this planet with us..... For without those great creations, life would be dull indeed.... So let gives our love and compassion to all living things on this planet.... for they all are part of us...... There are more to gain in sharing.... Let all makes life beautiful.....And enjoy..........
