Whether human or animal,
the instinct we share,
to care for and fiercely
protect our young is inherent
in parents throughout
the world. Methods
and language may differ;
care does not. Several years
ago, I studied a bird
in process of building
a nest in our birdhouse.
He scrambled back and
forth across the yard
carrying twigs and bits
of other materials to
make a comfortable, safe
home for his family. We
are all family.
Yes, we are and i cant wait till some of the distant cousins recognize that. Lol. Nice one, Sara.

Love and family are definitely universal. And they are all different and beautiful in their own unique ways.

Yes, Sara, the males of birds often help with the hatching, nurture and care of their young one. We have a pair of mocking birds who annually, or their descendants, nest in a nook under an eave of our house. I think the penguin couple are the most sharing of the birds that I know.
