I Spent One Hour And A Sunset With My Birds; P.S. It helps!...
I
am 25 years old and a little over an year back it felt like it would be nice to
keep pets it could be a hobby. I wanted to keep fish, so I researched well,
studied how to take care of fish different kind, needs and all that. But I all
of a sudden changed to keeping birds; I have sixteen birds now. I built a cage;
my first solo build. I had casualties at first, sill I kept going now, I am a
pretty cool bird keeper, Still have a lot to learn!
So
I feed them I clean their cage give the water, vegetables, fruits P.S. thulsi
seem to their favorite thing. Well now it has been a year since I started
keeping them but as time passed some issues started to come up. Not with the
care of the birds, No I was not loosing interest but it just, I don’t know how
to saw it. But um!…. I was getting sad, depressed, ready to give up on myself.
But even then I did not stop talking care of them. I kept doing everything I had
done.
After a pretty long
time I sat near their cage looking at the sky; blue canvas with beautiful
artistic stocks of white shaded with golden yellow and a slight tint of orange
and red, trust me it was beautiful. But something pulled my eye away from all
that, my birds. When I sat next to the cage they came as close as they could as
stood there. They did make and sounds, P.S. sing, they didn’t fly left and
right, like when I came to feed them they just stood there looking at me.
I
asked them “Why do you like me? I mean I put you in a cage gave food that I
think you like I restrict your flight space. All you can do is eat, drink, fly
in cuboidal shape cage that I believe is enough flight space for you; P.S. It’s
quite big don’t worry about that part. You still like me. People have this
whole world to go still we of someone whom we this is loving us puts us in a
box. We can go out yet we choose to be in them and curse it and get depressed
committee suicide.” I thought to myself they live on giving us hope,
friendship, and a few lessons we will get to learn I the future, it will hit us
all soon, trust me. Birds were my media, yours might be different. Just remember
that everything has something and that something is a lesson at one time of the
other.
P.S.
I even thought of letting them free out into the wild. I didn’t because; they
don’t have a natural habitat here they are native to other nations and the ones
that are available not natural ones they are mostly bred in captivity. They don’t
know how to survive. Let them out and their population will drop to drastically.
The other reason was once when I was put a new bird into the cage one escaped
and flew away. It was then that I understood that they can’t fly above the
level of my waste the maximum height that he reached was about 1.5m from take
of height. How can a birds survive in the wild like that, don’t compare them to
hens or other such birds, if you think about it, in a mood not to argue you
will get what I mean.
Well
keeping birds gave me one of the best sun sets I had ever had. It got me out of
a sorry sour me. Now I have baby birds on the way. I started keeping fish a few
months back and they are having babies too..
“You might have taken back different things
from this little say, but I would ask you to take one particular thought,
‘There is motivation everywhere, you will see the right one at the right time.
if you are looking you get started early because you will be on fire with the
smallest spark. Its ok if you are not looking something big is coming your way
to start your fire’ No more P.S. It’s on the dot.”
