Birds teach us Life Lessons
Today’s post: Can birds really teach us something? I’m a big fan of birds; I’m indeed addicted to watching them during the day or on weekends. When I open the kitchen window or on the National Geographic channel, undoubtedly, they make me happy and certainly God’s miracles.
Raising lovebirds was a nice engagement in my life for many years. That was awesome; surely each bird has its own unique personality. I called them FIT and LUNA (both were females). Sadly, both died, after years (4 and 6, respectively) of their craziest and naughtiest behavior, yet they offered much pleasure to my family and myself. They are still living in our hearts and minds. I remember, even if I felt under the weather, my continuous watching gaze following them at that time, instantly turned my bad mood into a cheerful status. Not to underestimate the endless fights that we daily had to face with Luna. When we were changing her water or food bowls, she used to attack us to prove how confidently strong she was, despite her little, tiny, and fluffy body.
Then, after having changed the water and food bowls, she got calm and resumed her normal demeanor, fighting was unnecessary, but whom do you want to tell that? She was not otherwise aggressive unless there was a reason for that. In her case, she was fighting for her rights, thinking that we were going to take away her bowls from her private domicile. She stood up for her property. Go LUNA! and R.I.P.
Well, I learned from LUNA to be self-determined about my rights, especially during work when having difficulties or confrontations. LUNA STYLE ! Of course, without the struggle of wings flapping and beak biting. finally, to resume my work as if nothing happened.
On the contrary, FIT was mostly quiet, amazingly singing her own lovely melodies, but LUNA to a lesser extent.
Back to my kitchen window. WHILE I’M GAZING AT THE BIRDS:
After, I realizing that a bird may teach us several lessons in this world.
10 Life Lessons from Birds
Here, I want to share 10 surprising lessons, I have learned from birds.
1. Be Confident
One of the first lessons we learn from birds is about confidence. Birds are tightly related with a great deal of audacity, whether they are flying high in the sky or defending their area from potential predators. Birds’ confidence is more than a reflex; it is a fundamental biological trait that enables them to succeed. And by embodying this type of assurance, we can also try to face our problems in the same manner and tell ourselves that we can handle the challenges. We can fly if we want it and integrate some of our capabilities as a bird does when it opens its wings and goes to the air.
2. Let Your Colors Shine
For many species, attractive coloration plays a dual purpose: it helps in the search for a partner while also reflecting personality traits and individuality. The colors they have aim to highlight and enhance their owners, serving as a reminder of the beauty found in one’s individuality. As a result, much as he flaunted his tail to show his beauty, every individual should be motivated, if not admired, to shine in their own lives. This approach teaches individuals to never ignore their self and show up regardless of what the society thinks or how the norms are.
3. Show Up Early and Often
Birds are notorious for their punctuality, often returning to the same nesting sites year after year. This behavior exemplifies the importance of consistency and reliability in both nature and our lives. By showing up early and often, birds establish trust within their communities, whether it’s among their flock or in their family units. This lesson teaches us the value of commitment and the rewards that come from being present in our relationships and responsibilities.
4. Go with the Seasons
Birds naturally adapt to the seasons, changing their routines accordingly. For example, some birds will migrate to warmer climates during the winter, while others will remain and adjust their eating habits based on food availability. Birds are frequently cited as exemplifying the concept of adaptability. This key talent and intelligence emphasizes the importance of being tough and versatile at our level, as well as softly advocating for change while dealing with chaos.
5. Be a Good Parent
Birds are renowned to be loving and dedicated parents, because they show protective behavior for their babies. Our bird parents’ features, whether building a strong nest or gathering food to feed their chicks, illustrate the essence of responsibility and giving. It teaches us the importance of being actively present and encouraging our loved ones, especially when they are young.
6. Flock Together
Birds typically live and nest in flocks, showing that they typically exercise interdependence and socialization. By grouping together, they increase their security and survival rates in the face of prospective predators. This behavior emphasizes the need of working together and supporting one another within our civilizations, showing that our collective might is more advantageous. Humans can behave Just like birds, may have a natural urge to flock together for defense, and they can also rely on one another.
7. Spread Your Wings
Birds encourage us to be brave and attempt new things. Flying represents freedom and adventure, as well as a challenge to step outside of one’s comfort zone. Looking at the birds flying high in the sky reminds us that change and growth are frequently accompanied by risk dividends as one is compelled to leave familiar terrain. This also illustrates how we should continually strive to achieve our goals, regardless of the hurdles we face.
8. Return Home
Several species of birds are known to migrate and return to their nesting grounds once a year. This journey illustrates the importance of home as well as the attachment one has to one’s origins. Going back reminds us of the importance of family, culture, and all of the people in our lives. Just as we instinctively know where to perch in a hollowing tree, we are lucky to know the community we grew up in and the people we care about.
9. Be Always Cheerful
It does not take long to find that birds are frequently linked with good imagery, including singing. Such a tendency reflects the truth of our environment and serves as a constructive motivation to see life from a different perspective. Birds use tunes to express their emotions, and so do we, particularly gratitude and positive thoughts. This lesson teaches us to enjoy the beauty of our environment, as well as the small things that bring us joy.
10. Continuously Hard Work, and Productive
Birds strive very seriously to build up their nest, by picking the spot, building, and collecting small pieces of sticks from everywhere, to gather it in the end, to be eventually, home sweet home. They will continue to collecting process, till the project is completed. Excellent TEAMWORK. They are good parent. We may just learn a thing or maybe more, the hard work from those lovebirds. And keep going until we complete all of the crucial tasks on our agenda. Unlike humans, birds never fed up of their tasks.
Final Thoughts
Overall, the ideas we gain from birds can be rich and complex while remaining simple. These birds have various life lessons to teach us, whether it’s having faith convincingly, being flexible in our approach, or having a happy view on life! By observing how these birds interact with their society and its members, we can be inspired to follow similar ideals in order to better ourselves and our community. With the teachings of bird creatures in mind, the fact is that the universe is full of instruction on fundamental aspects of existence, social growth, and a person’s place in it.
