Did you know that chicks can
survive without a mother hen? They can
pop out of their eggshell and begin to drink and feed within the day. In four days they begin to sprout their wing
feathers which become full wings in less than 2 weeks. By that time they are also sprouting their
tail feathers and feather begin to emerge on their backs. The miracle of life is truly amazing when
watching the rapid growth of a bird.
Pups, kittens, calves and fouls are much slower to get into their growth
and their evolution is not as dramatic as that of a chicken to a hen. Changing from yellow fuzz to feathers is so
dramatic, visually altering the appearance of the bird.
The nature of an animal,
however, is similar from birth to death.
They grow, they eat, they hunt or peck and basically they act like a
chicken, a cat, dog or horse. Despite
our belief in human superiority man also does not alter much from birth to
death, from century to century. Some are
workers, some are leaders, some are generous and some are cruel. Through all our learning, discovery and
inventions we humans have still not learned how to change the rise and fall of
nations. We haven’t learned how to get
along with differences; we still attack the painted bird.
Why is that?
