Birds fascinate people. Many people set out feeders to attract Birds to their Gardens. Others travel distances to spot a particular bird. People watch Birds fly, perch in trees, and sing to each other. What is it about Birds that draw people to them? People tell you they love Birds for the joy they bring.
Birds teach living in the moment. A flash of brightly colored feathers, then They are gone. The sight of a Condor soaring in the sky makes people pause and watch. Crows amuse people by their antics. A lonely call of the Loon fills people with longing. Constantly in motion, Birds teach people to live in the moment.
Not all Birds in a particular family are the same. For example, Penguins are known for their even tempered dispositions, however Rockhopper Penguin is a bad-tempered bully. Not only that, but He hops instead of waddling like the other Penguins. Meanwhile, Emperor Penguin is the model of cooperation for all Animals. Study both to learn what Individual Penguins have to teach, and study the Family page for what They have in common.
Vultures are a special case because two groups of unrelated Birds are called ‘Vulture’. One group is in the Eagle-Hawk Family, while the other may be distant relatives of the Stork Family. They do the same thing but are different at the same time. A Vulture teacher page will be provided, as well as, teacher pages for the different groups and individuals. Take time to read all the pages.
