◉ The world through the eyes of a bird 🕊️ ◉

It was last hour of the night. There was still a slight darkness in sky. And the cool wind was slowly shaking the branches of the trees. I was sitting in my nest hiding my little children in my wings. They were sleeping peacefully. But there was no sleep in my eyes. I do not know why my heart was very restless that night.

I am a small bird. My home was on an old neem tree on the edge of the village. That tree was not just a tree for me. It was my whole world. I learned to fly there for the first time and gave birth to my children there. And saw the beautiful mornings of life there.

When the sun rose in the morning. I flew to look for seeds. I always felt happy while passing over the fields. Somewhere farmers were working. Somewhere children were playing. And somewhere women were sitting outside their houses talking. The world looked very beautiful from above.

I was just coming back to my nest. When suddenly I heard some strange sounds.

“Thump… thump… thump…”

I panicked. As I got closer my heart started beating faster. Some men were standing near our tree. They had axes and machines in their hands.

The first blow hit the tree. And the whole tree trembled.

I screamed in fear. And quickly flew back to my nest. My children were scared. They were flapping their little wings over and over as if asking me: “Mommy… what happened?”

But I had no answer.

There was another loud sound. The branches started shaking. I felt my house collapse for the first time.

A few moments later our nest collapsed to the ground.

My children were screaming. I was helplessly fluttering around them. For humans it might have been just a tree but for me it was my whole life.

I held my children and sat on a nearby wall. My house was finished before my eyes. That day I felt afraid of humans for the first time.

It was getting dark. The sky is cover with dark clouds. The wind is blowing hard and it was about to rain. My children were shivering from the cold. I had no home no safe place.

Then a little girl slowly came towards me.

I was scared. I thought she might harm us like other humans. But there was a strange softness on her face.

She placed some grains on the ground and said in a low voice. “Don’t be afraid… I am your friend.”

I was surprised. Could humans have so much love?

My children were hungry. I slowly got down and started eating the grains. The girl was watching us silently. There was joy in her eyes. As if she had found peace by helping us.

The next day she came again. This time she had a small wooden nest in her hand. She tied it to a tree branch in the yard of her house.

I sat at a distance for a long time watching her. Then plucking up the courage I approached the new nest. It was safe… warm… and above all there was love.

My children were happy. After several days I saw them sleeping peacefully.

Time passed. Now I would chatter near this girl’s house every morning. When she went to school. I would sit on a tree and watch her. She would often put out water and food for me.

One day I saw some children throwing stones at an injured bird. My heart trembled. But at that moment the same little girl came running and said angrily. “Don’t do that. They feel pain too.”

She picked up the injured bird. And held it in her arms lovingly.

At that moment I realized that. Humanity is still alive in the world.

I have seen two types of people in my life. Some are those who destroy our world. And some are those who support broken wings.

Now, whenever I fly in the sky. I look carefully at the world below. Somewhere there is hatred somewhere love. Somewhere trees are being cut down. And somewhere new plants are being planted.

But I have learned that hope always remains.

Even today my nest is in the courtyard of this little girl’s house. Every morning when the sun rises. I fly towards the sky and pray in my heart:

“Oh people… if you love the earth. The earth will love you too. Because this world is not only yours it is ours too.”

Thank you for being with me.
