The tiny and cute Robin.

This robin has become a regular visitor of my garden.. He gradually is approaching to my window and me. We would become friends very soon and I hope to offer him food from my hand.

A legend about the robin.

A small brown bird shared the stable with the Holy Family in Bethlehem at  Christmas.
At night, while the family was sleeping, the robin noticed that the fire was dying down.
So he flew down to embers and kept the fire alive with the movement of the wings for all the night, to keep  baby Jesus warm and safe.
In the morning, he was rewarded with a nice bright orange breast as a symbol of his love for the newborn King

Sparrow having bath..

One of my little sparrow living in my garden wants to have a bath, but he is a bit scared...water is a little cold..

He is tasting the water...ummmm...he thinks it's time to enter in the water.

Yes, water is warm..

SPLASH!!

Now sparrow is very clean...going to take the sun and dry its beautiful feathers..

Living harmoniously...



Tolerance is what human beings need sometimes. We should imitate the birds' behaviour and the respectful attitude towards the diversity in nature.Birds have no barriers, even when they are looking for food. We need to learn by those little and marvellous creatures of God.

Poor little sparrows...life is often a surprise...





Mamma blackbird is searching for food for her little babies. I can work in the garden even with my dogs, she doesn't have fear of me.She often flies over and around me, touching my hair. Maybe she is jealous of her babies, especially when I stay closely to her house.But we are good friends.

Hoopoes are back..

Hoopoes are back. Every year they like staying in my garden and having food. There are a lot of insects, so food is also for other birds like sparrows, white wagtails, blackbirds...and so on. The hoopoe is a very beautiful bird. I like watching at it every day.Till now I saw two of them, but all the family of hoopoes is here. I shall find out where they nest...
