Birds of all sizes and shapes fly wild in the sky. They have no permanent place to stay, no one to feed them niger seed or bread crumb, no one to clean up after them or tend to them, but they survive in the wild much better than human beings. What could be the secret? Is the food they get in the wild much better than the artificial wild bird food or dried mealworms? Is the wild more safer than living in a cage in a home or zoo?
The secrets lies in the way they carry out specific tasks at specific times. Timing is everything for their survival in the cold outdoors. Migration is one of these well timed tasks. Between the wintering ground and their original breeding grounds many birds migrate between these two twice a year. Not only does it make the birds avoid dangers but it also gives them the opportunity to make use of the beneficial weather conditions during the climate change season in their breeding ground.
The art of camouflaging is another important factor, especially for the females when they are tending for the eggs. Their colours easily blend with plants and bushes. This gives them the advantage over any predators who will not be able to spot them at a glance.
Being able to fly gives them an upper hand then other animals in the wild. They are blessed to be able to cover more distance in a shorter time span than animals on foot and of course face no dangers from predators in the land.
Few birds are blessed with intelligence which they use instinct to even track down kills of predators knowing there will be left over’s for them to feast on.
There is a lot to learn about team spirit from the birds. Not only do they fly together, helping each other in times of trouble, they have also learnt that a large number of them are even forceful enough to chase away predators. Even tiny birds are not afraid to face an owl or a hawk when they are together as a pack.
These tactics may look simple, but when practised these are the secrets for the survival skills of birds in the wild. Simple rules which can even be applicable to human beings only if we are willing to learn from the birds in the wild...
