And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
We have a family of crows -- and now working on a third generation -- who come twice a day to eat at our house. They love the kitty kibble we put out for them. They know us and will fly in at other times if we call them or, sometimes, they just show up to "talk". Once, one of them left a brand new pair of black socks for us. They bring their new fledglings and it's been fascinating to watch the family interaction and watch the young develop. They're very smart birds and seem to have a great sense of humor, too. They aren't the best flyers -- especially when they're molting -- and spend more time walking than flying. Lovely birds.
I have a family of blue jays that I feed peanuts to. The fledglings will sit on a branch and flutter their wings and cry for a peanut. They come back every year, and the older ones remember me.
So THAT'S where the runway models learn that walk. I always kinda wondered.

ReplyDeleteThat’s cool. Usually they’re hard to handle.
