Haiku August 8, 2012 Nature Versus Nuture

Young fledgling flitters

Steady determination

Parents tag team, feed.

Art Prescription:  I so enjoy watching various birds come to feast on sunflower seeds on my deck. Now families of birds return, parents dutifully feeding their feather flapping young. These newly hatched fluffy youngsters hop with excitement behind a parent waiting for food to be delivered beak to beak.  Satisfied for a few moments the toddler sits with a full belly, and the parent gets some seed for themselves. Doesn’t take long before the wiggle of hind feathers starts again and the parents break is over. The drive nature has to protect and launch their offspring is remarkable!
