What Do Your Favourite Birds Reflect About You?

A-Z

Birds reflect our behaviour. Which bird do you like, think about, see often, feel a closeness to, have a kinship with?  See if it is in our directory.

______________________________ 

 

Birds  (General)

Indeed, we be birds; and what are birds? Birds are wonderful creatures blessed with the ability to move freely; an ability that many would like to emulate.

(Do we think that man is limited? Yes, indeed we do. Do we wish that we could help him? No, we do not. And why do we not wish to help him? We do not wish to help him for, if we did, he would most certainly try to constrain us, limit us, pursue us, defame us, murder us, the list goes on and on, does it not? Once man conquers, he ruins. Tough to say; however, this is true. Man torments, abuses, insults, etc., etc., all good. This he does and has done always. Why then oh why would we want to be controlled by him? No, we shall stay away from man and his sources of destruction.

Many offer asylum and sanctuary; this is so. There are many who offer friendship and love. However, the scales are most certainly tipped in favour of men who do not care to protect, cherish and keep us safe and well.

And so it is that when we find ourselves attracted to the Birds of the world we may care to ask of ourselves a number of questions. Are we content to sit by and allow the atrocities of life to prevail within our own lives? Do we feel protected from the torments of life? Are we a part of the population who trust, cherish and adore those of a weaker appearance? Are we measured by the love that we engender within those spheres? Yes, those flying creatures create a dichotomy for those of us who adore them. Let us look deep within to find where we stand.)

What's it all about, Alfie? (The song by Cilla Black.)
Is it just for the moment we live?
What's it all about when you sort it out, Alfie?
Are we meant to take more than we give?
Or are we meant to be kind?
And if only fools are kind, Alfie;
then I guess it is wise to be cruel.
And if life belongs only to the strong, Alfie;
what will you lend on an old golden rule?
As sure as I believe there's a heaven above, Alfie;
I know there's something much more,
something even non-believers can believe in.
I believe in love, Alfie.
Without true love we just exist, Alfie.
Until you find the love you've missed; you're nothing, Alfie.
When you walk, let your heart lead the way;
and you'll find love any day, Alfie, Alfie.

 

Budgerigar (common pet Parakeet)

Budgerigar Image Courtesy User: Mikescottwood11 - Wikipedia Creative Commons Attribution Share AlikeHungry, I’m hungry; give me something to eat…. I’m hungry….

(I hunger for lots of things; usually those things that I can’t have! Ahhh well, that’s life, I guess.

It’s up to us to make a stand though. If I don’t who will?

Seems that so much passes us by in the hope of becoming enthused. But no; it just passes on by.

My luck is running out, you know. Yeah, I just can’t keep hoping that all things will go well; and you know what…. No, they just don’t. I try and try and try to make things happen… heaven knows I do. And yet, there they sit; all of my good intentions, just sitting there… All of my good planning somehow just goes down the drain… Oh well; it’s not for the sake of trying now, is it?

Well my friends, it would seem that the Budgerigar personality is one that tries so very hard to make progress, to make things happen.

Perhaps, if one was to consider the importance of allowing others ‘time’ to catch up with ‘progress’, there would not be the added frustration associated with ‘change’ that seems to be the case for the Budgerigar personality.

Yes, perhaps if the Budgerigar personality agreed to allow ‘time’ to be its friend, and not its foe; all would be well for the clever, progress enabling Budgerigar personality to 'take wing', and not feel overwhelmed by the delays of the ‘slower’ thinking types.)

than truly can you see!

 

Dove (General) Reflection

Dove Courtesy: Wikipedia Public Domain PictureInteresting, is it not; we have two birds similar yet, surprisingly different, indeed.

(The Dove is a little Pigeon, indeed it is; in the main it is a little Pigeon. There are exceptions to every rule; however, for this purpose (our reflection) we shall see the Dove as being a smaller version of the larger Pigeon.

So similar are these two energies. Similar and yet each has a very distinct distinction. And what are they; the difference? The difference lies in their genetic make-up. One is able to soar to great heights. Indeed this is true. One prefers to stay a little lower; closer to the ground. It is a marked difference for those who appreciate the subtle difference. The Pigeon prefers to be ‘up in the clouds’; so to speak. The Dove prefers to be more cosy; closer to the ground. A minor difference and yet we must see it for what it really means for those of us who are attracted to these beautiful birds. Are we to be ‘up in the clouds’ or need we allow ourselves to be more like the Dove and ‘settle’ closer to earth. A dilemma exists for those who love these little creatures. They are aware of the subtle difference between these two energies for they ‘live’ these energies on a daily basis. Should I ‘stay up in the clouds’, or should I ‘come down to earth’? Yes my friends, this is one of the dilemmas that those who have a love for these two very similar birds, experience daily. Up there or down here; which is it to be?

Well my friends; there is an ever so slight difference between the two energies and yet a very marked one for those who are influenced by those energies.)

Heron (General)

Courtesy: pdphoto.orgWhat's it all about, Alfie? Is it just for the moment we live? (Song-Cilla Black.)

A little melancholy am I, for I see things as they are. No, I am not depressed; I am just realistic.

I see things the way that they are and sometimes that is sad. I am pleased to be me. I am pleased to be able to see things as they are.

As I said; I am not depressed; however, I am a deep thinker and that is good; for seeing things as they really are helps me to stay on the right path.

Yes, sometimes it is difficult not to judge. Sometimes it is difficult to remain objective; but these things I strive for, to allow me the pleasure of seeing things just as they are.

A contradiction! No, a reality.

I would rather see things as they are and remain objective and real, than see things through the eyes of dust, and live unrealistically.

So you see, clarity of sight brings pleasure.

That is not to say that we are 'two faced'; certainly not. We are shy and we like to baffle as well... This has the effect of keeping our enemies at bay...

Owl  (General)

Courtesy pdphoto.orgSome say that we are reflecting wisdom. What do you say? Are your actions wise? Do they need some more thought?

Would it be wise to think more carefully just now? Indeed. This is what the owl is telling you.

BE wise. BE thoughtful; for wisdom and careful thought is just what the doctor ordered.

(Wisdom is not something that we have to begin with. No, wisdom is ‘acquired’. And how is it acquired? I shall tell you. It is a learned behaviour. That’s right. It is a learned behaviour. Sounds funny however, this is true. Wisdom is created by our actions, or it is ‘not’ created by our actions. Are we to create wisdom or are we to be stuck in the mire of our thoughts and behaviours? This is what the Owl is asking of us when we see their beautiful form. The question that they pose is purely individual to the individual. It speaks of ‘going within’ to where ‘all knowledge’ dwells. Do you know where all knowledge dwells, my friend? That’s right. All knowledge dwells within the soul. It is the ‘soul’ that has the knowledge of all ages. Not just today’s knowledge. No, it holds all knowledge from time past to time ‘so called’ future. Yes, my friend, the soul holds miracles in the palm of its hand (metaphorically speaking of course). And so, my friend, please seek the soul when confronted with difficulties for it has the answers that you are looking for. And how do we ‘find’ the soul? We find the soul in those quite moments between thoughts. Yes, my friends, the soul can speak to us when we allow our minds to be quiet.

And so it is that when we are attracted to the magnificent Owl species it is an indication that our soul is yearning to be heard; yearning to be appreciated; yearning to be recognised. Are we going to allow our beauteous souls input into our lives, or will we refuse. The choice is always ours.)

Parrot (General)   (The picture showcased is of the Macaw; one of ‘roughly’ 372 species of Parrot.  Parrots are also known as psittacines.)

Picture Courtesy: Wikipedia Creative Commons Share Alike Attribution I, Luc Viatour

Parrot; an unusual name….. Parrot; an unusual game….. Parrot; an unusual breed….. Parrot; indeed.

(Why oh why do we call ourselves Parrot? Do we? Do we call ourselves Parrot? Or do we not? To be or not to be; this is the question? Are you getting wise to us yet? Do you think that red is red; or is red, yellow? Why oh why do flowers bloom? Is it spring or is it June? Okay wise guy what are you up to? Oh don’t go on like that, truly we shall have a fit. Okay; let’s settle down and see if we can come up with an idea. Confused?

A little…..

Why are you confused?

Because you seem to be jumping all over the place without ever coming to a conclusion.

Oh, you noticed…!!! Well yes, we do seem to do that, don’t we….? Hmmmmm, we jump all over the place and never seem to come to a conclusion….. Yes, I do believe that you are right. We jump all over the place (mentally speaking, of course) and we don’t ever seem to reach a conclusion. You’re right. What can we do about this aspect of our personality?

Knowing it will help tremendously. You do know that being aware of a condition is half the battle. Once we are aware, it can linger longer where we can see it and then we have the opportunity to ‘perhaps’ change it. We say ‘perhaps’ because not always do we want to change; do we? No, not always is ‘change’ a welcome thing. However, we know that the parrot personality is one that ‘does’ like to change. This is why the Parrot personality has difficulty; jumping about. This is instinctual; one might say.

Instinctual?

Yes, instinctual. You see; the Parrot personality is a personality that ‘innately encourages change’. However, it is a very strong personality; one that takes some controlling; if you know what I mean….. A very strong personality requiring discipline……

Disipline?

Yes, discipline.

And why does it need discipline?

It needs discipline otherwise it will jump about never coming to conclusions…. Simple enough. Therefore, (you very strong personality Parrot) settle yourself down; think carefully about your subject and then, when you are ‘quite ready’ take that bull by its horns and do justice to your subject; remembering to make a conclusion. That is right. Remember to make a conclusion. Do not let it ‘sit up there somewhere in the clouds’. No; we need you here on earth having made a wonderful conclusion of your subject. Savvy? Good; that’s a start.

Well, well, well my fine Parrot personality. An in-bred ability for ‘change’. An agreeable ability indeed.)

Pigeon (General)

PigeonWell, well, well, so you want to understand the Pigeon personality. Well then let’s go…….

(The Pigeon personality is one which engages in many of life’s lessons. Does this surprise? Yes? Yes. Indeed the Pigeon is full of surprises….. And why is it full of surprises? It is full of surprises because this is its innate centre; to be ‘full of surprises’, indeed. One day a little surprise here, and the next day a little surprise there. Do you see what I mean? Little surprises here and little surprises there. Life would be oh so hum drum if it were not for ‘little surprises’.

Now, every time that you see a Pigeon you will exclaim “Oh, I wonder what ‘little surprise’ is in store for me today?” Indeed.

How very sweet is the energy of the Pigeon. It is a very gentle energy which has quite surprised me…!)

Snowy Owl

Yes; is it the fault of the eyes; or the thoughts of man?

Eyes..........!   Yes...

Yes, we are gentle folk who want to be seen.

Oh yes. We want to enjoy all that life has in store for those who choose to live life to the full.

Otherwise why be here?
