A bulbul greeted me from Daphne's Kennel yard and turned back to give bird calls. Soon its pair arrived and together they moved to the feeding table in our garden! This ritual happens a few times a day.
Birds caring for each other is usual.
That is how they try out suitability for courtship !
These are decisive and defining behaviour by which most birds try out the suitability for courtship!
As I listen to some conversations, I realise how important is communicative behaviour between a husband and wife.
It is one thing to feel affectionate towards each other, but it is yet another thing to express it to each other in way that adds to the endearing experience.
The awareness of the presence of the spouse and expressing one's dependence on each other is a language of the heart. It is one way of conveying the feeling of being valued and needed!
The avian language of such an intimacy is explicit in behaviours such as co-feeding. It is important for the spouses to discover mutually edifying expressions of affection and intimacy as a normal process. Anna and I have a habit of reading to each other, although sometimes it might interrupted. That is a time to her to what is read and listen to the movements within and share it to receive resonances with each other.
To add a touch of sacredness and solemnity to relationships between spouses, it is necessary to have experiences which integrate, cognitive, emotional and communicative rituals!
