The Robin Neighbourhood: Part 3



“Our Mom -> Their Mom”


After these uncommon affairs, they’re actually like human beings. Our human mothers take care of us in any way they can. When babies are born, it is usually our mom that is doing all the work. They are the ones that feed us, nurse us back to health and change our diapers.  In the bird’s case, it’s the mother bird that feeds its baby, take care of it, and eat their poop. (They don’t have diapers). Most of the time, the human moms are the ones going to and fro, buying the groceries and all necessary items. It is them that cook the meal. For the mother birds, they have to find all the bugs for their babies to eat. She doesn’t need to cook the insects, but she needs to chew on the creepy-crawlies in order for the babies to eat and swallow without any sophistication.
The Robin Neighbourhood: Part 1



“Our dad -> Their dad”

“Birds -> Humans”

The father bird doesn’t do any of the things the mother does. He is there to protect the nest and lead any uninvited guests away. For human cases, the dad usually gets the most income so he could buy a house. The father bird visits the nest occasionally to guard it. If he senses any danger, he’s not going to be scared. Also, dads are usually fat (they don’t exercise unless their job is a sport). The father birds don’t need to feed anyone so they can eat whatever they can find. They are usually plump by all the bugs they eat (and not share to anyone but himself)
In real life, the birds are just like human beings, just that they are birds. The robin neighbours are only about 2 feet away from us and they are a family. The family of robins presently moved in the neighbourhood, leaving them suspicious about us. How are birds different? They are exactly like humans, only smaller, and they have wings. They think and act like us too.
