    One Small Step For Man

    One cute hop for birdkind.

    Today I saw a baby bird being watched by its parents. When I walked up, just the sight of three birds chirping and jumping around was enough to put a smile on my face. When they started to fly away though, one flew into the tree and two jumped on a ledge that was right on eye level with me.

    One was brown and still had those baby down feathers. It looked ridiculously soft. It wasn't a baby bird, it had to be an adolescent (its feather hair style was outrageous enough hehe). And the parent bird was nudging it with its own head. It was adorable. They were chirping at each other and when they finally noticed me watching, they flew off and the third bird joined them.

    Funny how a little bird learning about its life can make me forget mine.
