A stressed behaviour!

One Bulbul in the photo above is singing away. 

The other is seen turning back with an intent look and  reacting with its feathers puffed up, obviously a typical bird behaviour when stressed !

As I kept watching the next move of this pair, I was taken back as the singing bird sang even more lustily following  the message of stress it received from the other bird.  

The Bird call which became louder, longer and frequent was its way of dispelling the stress and  augment the readiness to act if threatened. 

The inner composure to face the stress and turn it to be even more tuneful in singing is a sign that stress when received in a healthy way can bring out more good acts in our behaviour. 

Stress can evoke reaction with, but it can also be a means to increase in doing good. It is one way of filling the stressed space with abundance of goodness. 

An inner composure of restfulness in stressful situations bring peace to ourselves and others.
