Birds

Flying

A strange being is flying in the open sky. Birds. Free, unobtrusive.

In droves, Flocked, Alone sometimes, in the blue sky. Sometimes its colors match with the clouds, Sometimes not, bringing diverse shades on the white cloud slate. In the unobstructed emptiness, you ‘chirping being’ brought depth.

Little bird, if I could be like you, transform into tranquil being for blissful freedom. Except for those, whom we have imprisoned in-home and zoo, in colorful cages.

About birds There are approximately 18,000 birds species in the world now, out of which around 12% are critically endangered. A couple of names, which are in immediate threats: kakapo (known as owl parrot, prime location in New Zealand), Fruit Drove (prime location in Guam and Northern Marianas Islands), Kiwi (prime location in New Zealand), Hooded Grebe (prime location in Chilean and Argentinian Patagonia), Snowy Owl (prime location in the northern hemisphere), Great Curassow (prime location in Mexico, Colombia, and Ecuador), etc.(1)

A part of nature is vanishing by the aggression of human, just like the other essential beings of nature. In whatever way we are transforming the earth, there will be a time when birds and other creatures will only be in the words and pictures, rather than as real beings.
