My Changing World - Spring Changes Everything

 SPRING

It makes us start fresh like the growth in our gardens. The birds are active and we feel rejuvenated to put fresh efforts to improve our business but its not just us. The wild birds in my garden are performing amazing new antics which are so exciting.

My favourite bird is a female blackbird. I've named her Queenie as she is most positive and appears to dominate the activities in the garden. her actions are providing fresh incites into bird life. She has become extremely tame around me and will pick up food around my feet and carries out many activities in my proximity.

Yesterday, she came onto my doorstep and began taking cuttings from a bowl that I was soaking them in. I was only two feet from her when I realised what she was up to. It was terribly amusing when I realised she was nest building. In the afternoon when I was clearing the rubbish I found her right beneath me digging a hole in the ground I had just watered and then she flew away with a mouthful of mud.

In the evening whilst sitting in the evening sunshine drinking a cup of tea (ha ha) she returned to the hole then went to one of my birdbaths took water returned to the hole and released the water. She continued doing this until she had created a basin of mud. the she made repeated flights backwards and forwards between the tree and the hole.

It was simple but wonderful to watch. I had never seen anything like it before, no doubt all blackbirds do this but I believe I experienced this as a result of the trust that had been formed between us.

The actions of this bird made me happy and it reminded me Spring is the time to take action. I feel the joint venture I shared with my feathered friend had been produce through trust. We can still learn and benefit through nature. This joint venture is as I said built on trust and as a result I realise that my joint venture with Andrew Reynolds is another venture of trust. His "Copy This Idea" allows me the opportunity to work from home and learn in my own time. My encounter with the blackbird would not be possible if I had a regular 9 to 5 job.
