Today we want to dedicate our blog post to birds! In half the world, summer is in full swing, so millions of birds cross the skies in flight, filling the air with trill and song. Many species are now completing their breeding season, teaching their offspring to fly and fend for themselves, after a few spring months of nesting, incubating eggs, and hurriedly feeding their rapidly growing newborns. Therefore, summer is a great time to celebrate these marvelous animals!
Birds are certainly some of the cutest creatures around, with many songbirds, parrots and poultry making great pets. Chicken and ducks are among the great favorites of humankind, especially their young. Aesthetically, many birds look incredibly beautiful, thanks to their sleek shape, gorgeous colors, graceful movements and swift flight. Think flamingos, hummingbirds, swans, peacocks or swallows, to name a few. Some birds, like ravens and certain parrots, are even among the most intelligent animals in the animal kingdom, using tools and engaging in complex social behaviors!
Humans have always been fascinated by birds, and have since ancient times, made them into part of myth, religion and folklore. There are many ways to learn more about these descendants of feathered dinosaurs, and as many ways to enjoy them! Simply watching and listening to birds, trying to spot different species or take good photos, reading about them, or even drawing them if you like. You do not need to be an ornithologist for that!
