Seeing this picture of a Birds Nest brought back many special memories of something that happened quite a few years ago. Dad was growing beans in our backyard. He had them growing on a trellis. One day, he went outside, and found that a bird had decided to make his nest in the middle of the beans! Perhaps the bird just wanted to introduce his little bird children to healthy vegetable eating from an early stage of their lives! It was very special “ peeking” at the nest when the bird wasn’t there and looking at the eggs! Eventually, the extra special “ birth day” arrived and the little birds are born! But then the mother bird disappeared and left the little birds as orphans! All of them except for one decided to test out their new flying abilities, and off they flew to explore their exciting and adventure packed life in their new world! But the last little bird looked a little sickly and weak. He couldn’t fly! It wasn’t good when his attempt to fly landed him on the ground in the midst of the beans! Dad to the rescue! Dad tried not to touch the bird, so that human scent wasn’t on the little bird in case the mother bird returned, and was able to move him to a box where he put some water and even found wriggly worms! He put a protective bar screen over the top, to protect the little bird from danger. Not a good idea because the little bird got “ stuck” amidst the bars! Dad was able to fix that issue! A few days later, a very exciting and special thing occurred! The mother bird came back! Dad quickly removed the bar screen, and the mother bird “ chirped” her thanks at Dad’s caring kindness of looking after her baby bird! She then assisted the little bird to start flying!
A birds nest is a very comforting and warm place for a little bird to be. Our own homes are a very special place for us to live. It is not the furnishings of the home or the exterior design of the home that makes a house a home or is important in life. It is the special love and care that is felt between family members as they support each other through all that life is holding for each of them, and as a family . Through happy times, sad times , exciting times, Ill health and times of pain
