“If I keep a green bough in my heart, the singing bird will come.” - Chinese Proverb

A bird’s-eye view. Free as a bird. Out on a lark… Most birds can fly, and because of their ability to transcend our own earth-bound domain we have revered and idolized them throughout our myth-making history. Their songs entrance us, their habits seem mysterious, and so we give birds a grand role in our stories: Creator, trickster, harbinger of life and death, embodiment of the soul, or source of wisdom.

But as parents, we can find common ground with birds. Even though a mother bird lays eggs, she is as fierce and vigilant a parent as any human. Birds build elaborate nests that perfectly suit the needs of their young; they protect their eggs at all costs; and when chicks hatch from those protective shells, they bask under doting wings.
