Animals and humans

Man's best friend is a......dog! Very true.

All of them! I've had so many over the years..... each one has a lesson to learn from.

I learn more from animals than i have ever learned from a human.

Animals teach us so much! Yet we can only abuse them.

Why is that? inferiority complex?

There’s a little person in that animal body. I don’t eat my brothers.

You are a walking, talking follicular infection..

You're too kind.

You just proved the OP correct with your post. Animals way smarter and more companionate than most humans. Congrats on proving yourself to be a lower form of life.

Thank you.

You're welcome OP. 5 stars and green for you!

Thread: Anyone LIke Feeding/Watching Birds?

I love feeding the birds. And squirrels. They all eat better than i do. At least I spend more on feeding my pets and outsiide furry/feathery friends than myself.

There's are 24/7 cams on a private horse pasture in Florida where a pair of bald eagles have come for many years to their yearly nest to raise their eaglets. This year their nest was destroyed by hurricane Ian and they had to rebuild it completely. As most years the female laid 2 eggs and together they cared for them and shared brooding for 35 days. Two eaglets hatched for the very experienced pair of parents. Eaglets take at least 4 months before they can leave the nest for good. They require constant care, protection and feedings.

At hardly 3 weeks old, the mother never returned and presumed dead from altercations with other eagles. The forests are being taken down to build up everywhere and animal populations of all species are stressed for shelter and food. The mother had to have been taken out as the most likely cause for demise. She would never just leave her eaglets. With the mother gone, predatory eagles can easily attach the nest and steal eaglet food which is exactly what started happening. In these situations the odds of only one parent being able to raise two eaglets alone is slim, but this experienced father did just that. He quickly became tattered looking while getting food, fighting off intruding eagles and many times food stolen that he had brought to his babies. He was scuffed up and dirty, but he never gave up. The eaglets are now nearing the time to leave and have grown larger than their father.

There's no doubt at all of the literal love, caring and fearlessness of this father who single handedly (wingingly) raised his babies all alone against the odds. He fought off preditors both day (intruding eagles) and night (owls that knocked him off his watchful perch).

Here they are on live cam now:



Here is one of many times this happened. Father (called M15) out hunting baby food and while away intruder enters his nest with his eaglets.



Humans can take a lesson or two from nature.

That's beautiful!!!

Thank you for sharing!
