Virus of the Mind
Ok , but this is just a story about a " physical " Raven and Kestral . Nothing Spiritual really . I have been feeding a group of Ravens for several years now . Toes and I have become quite close .
Now Raven isn't the best hunter in the bird kingdom . They do ok , but well . they are kinda like humans in that they aren't really equiped for hunting . Not like a Hawk or Falcon . They are a perching bird actually , a " Song Bird ". But they will hunt , using what they have . A rather large beak and their brains . Even so , it is uncommon for them to catch a pigeon out in the open . { they usually get a pigeon someplace where they can't fly , or hunt them in a group }.
Anyway , one morning I came upon Toes , out in the open , with a fresh kill . I was so proud of him .
Told him what a great hunter he was . And he quite proud of his self .
As I watched him , I became aware of a Kestral sitting off a ways . It didn't take long to figure out what had happened . The Kestral had made the kill , and Toes took it . Of course I had to tease Toes for allowing me to think that he had made the kill . And I swear that bird understands me . He continued eating , but no longer seemed quite so proud .
A few days later , I was talking to another guy and there where a group of pigeons off to the side . Toes came swooping in , and it seemed that just to prove to me that he could , he chased one pigeon under a cart , { where it couldn't fly } and made the kill by his self .
As I said , this has nothing to do with Spiritualism . Just me bragging about my little friend . Now , the Kingbird .... Although Kestral is a better hunter then Raven { perhaps because of it ? } , the Kingbird doesn't bother him at all . It would be the death of the Kingbird if he did . But the liitle Kingbird outflies Raven , is much quicker . And because Raven will eat their eggs and young , the Kingbird chases Rven off whenever they see one . The Kingbird is a " fly-catcher ", smaller then a Robin . Bright green in colour . And they are the biggest bane that my little buddies have .
I know that the story doesn't sound like much , but it was kinda cool to experience . Oh , a sidenote here . Toes once gave me the wing of a pigeon . Just like a cat will bring you a mouse ... he brough me a wing .
Now I have to run . Later ...
