Do people talk with birds? Do some of us truly talk out loud to birds? Of course! Ok, ok, yeah, maybe some of you think that we who talk with birds (and mammals and many other “people”) maybe we’re a little loose in the noggin, a little left of center, a little off the beaten track. And maybe we are. But we’re happy. 🙂 There are a good number of humans who like to talk with all sorts of animals.
One of my favorite blogs is written by a woman who listens to and understands what birds are saying, and what many other “people” (other animals) are saying as well. She’s pretty amazing.
Now that I’m back at home after that amazing trip to see the volcano (Mount St. Helens), I’ve been able to take time to catch up on my internet viewing, including catching up on this woman’s blog posts.
Here is just one photo of hers from one of my all-time favorite blog posts of hers …
I swear this kid eats like a horse.
Here is the link to that blog post of hers that includes the photo above … this just might be my favorite blog post of hers … LINK.
In all of her blog posts, this friend of mine (Dawn) italicizes the words of the birds, and other animals, so you can tell when the birds are talking vs. when my friend Dawn is simply typing her own words, her own voice.
Read that blog post and find out what birds really do say … and what other critters say, too. No need to read the New York Times or the Wall Street Journal or The Guardian (in England) or the Globe and Mail (in Canada) or the PhilStar (in the Philippines) … just listen to birds, they know what’s important.
It might be kind of sneaky of me to write a blog post that simply includes someone else’s blog post that the other person obviously spent a great deal of time composing. But I really do love Dawn’s work … her photography and her imagination. Oh, er, I mean her listening skills! 🙂
Thanks, Dawn. 🙂
