Birds Know How To Deal With Missionaries

A couple of wild birds have acted more sensible than two thousand years worth of generations of humans. The former pope released a couple of non-native doves as a gesture of "peace" and the a crow and a seagull who already lived in the geographic area chased them away. Why couldn't humans have done that with entities released by the church? And how can an organization that isn't peaceful in any way achieve a gesture of peace?

Very smart wild birds. We could all learn a lot from them.

One day, perhaps Christians will learn to stop using unwilling participants as symbols in their endless, meaningless gestures. Each of the doves of this story is a living creature in his own right. Why would the pope assume that the dove would automatically wish to become a part of a statement on the behalf of the most bigoted, dishonest, and ruthless organization on the planet?

Angry Birds: Man Killed By Swan

According to the Chicago Tribune, Anthony Hensley, of Villa Park, Il., was dragged out of his kayak and drowned by a great big angry swan this past Saturday. No one is sure why the swan attacked, and the swan, possibly under the advise of his attorney, has remained silent concerning the entire incident! Ok; all jesting aside, swans are very protective of their territories, their mates, and their young. Most birds are extreemly territorial, and their "songs" are largely calls to let other birds know who's turf is whose. Birds are not afraid to fight, either. Mr. Hensley probably got too close to the swan's nest while in his kayak, and frightened the swan. Swans are beautiful birds, but never get on a swan's bad side. Unlike many humans, they WILL defend their chicks to the death, caring for nothing but the safety of their babies, and unlike humans, they DO NOT care about money, politics, or social standing outside of their own flocks and lakes. Perhaps humankind should take a few lessons from swans. Rest in peace, Anthony Hensley.
