Nesting instinct
It turns out the scrubjay was attempting to be a martyr for a cause. Nearby my family's townhouse (ah, yes, we didn't move. did I mention that?) was its nest. I stumbled upon the family's tree today quite by accident, while walking "my" dog Sisi. It was trying to lure potential predators away from its nest.
I was thinking that people have a nesting instinct as well.
First we're babies in the nest crying for mom or dad.
Then we're kids playing around, testing our wings.
Then we're young adults flying about.
[Then (I've heard) the stage comes as a parent with a new nest.
Then those children leave the nest.
And empty-nest syndrome starts!
See what I have to look forward to? :oP]
Anyway, it sure is fun listening to chattering.
Having friends and family around is great.
I know why the free bird sings. :oP
