When I was living in Africa a bird came into my room one
day. It was a small blue colored bird. It must have come in through the door
which was open. I kept the door open and tried to get it to fly out but it was
trying to fly out through the window. The window had a net with openings too
small for the bird to go through. I thought it would hurt itself and decided to
catch it but was not successful. I then removed the bed sheet and tried to
throw it over the bird. After a few tries, I got the bird under the bed sheet.
I could see where the bird was by its movement under the bed sheet. I caught
the bird and removed the bed sheet. I took it outside and released it. As it
flew away, I felt I had done something good and was happy.
A few months later, another bird came into our office. It
was a small green colored bird. A local managed to catch it. I thought he
would release it outside but was surprised to see him pull out a few of its
larger feathers. He did not want it to fly away. He then placed it inside his
locker and closed it. I asked him what he was going to do with it. He said ‘We
will eat it’.Tuesday, October 17, 2017
