As the winter is approaching, I notice new birds in pairs in our garden. Yesterday, we noticed smaller birds criss-crossing over the meadow and moving from one shrub to another! Were they looking for a homely environment to nest!
These birds are sensitive to human presence and noise. Daffney and Dulcy are generally friendly towards them. After a while we had to refill our bird bath yesterday towards the evening!
One thing that struck me yesterday was the 'call' of the birds. We hear these calls early in the morning and late afternoons and there is almost a cacophony sometimes. It is a sure sign that birds of different species are in the garden!
A keen bird watcher, Dr. Sanjeeth Peter told me recently, that it is important to be hospitable to birds. They take a while to feel at home in human settlement!
How much more to learn to be hospitable! It is a life long journey!
