The bathing, drying and grooming of a Bulbul are orderly rituasl which I notice on most days in our feeding station! The habitual pattern is a routine for the Bulbuls.
A keen bird watcher once mentioned to me that Bulbuls travel on an average about fifty kilometres in a day. It begins its flight in the morning after grooming from its resident garden and returns after visiting all the routine flight stations by evening to rest for the night. It is a regular cycle except during the courtship, mating and breeding seasons.
During its life span of about ten years, the Bulbuls follow a routine which keeps them flight ready.
They live purposefully focussed on their wellness !
One state government in south India is about to manufacture a new brand of whisky while a new government which took over the governance in another South Indian state has decided to close all bars within 500 meters of the educational institution or places of worship.
The alcohol or addictive substances get introduced to the youth because social drinking is a habit even in homes! The social approval of this practice gives sanction to young people to publicly consume alcohol with no inhibition or restraint!
Among the non communicable diseases, the diseases initiated or aggravated by habitual use of alcohol cause serious public health concern!
The Bulbul birds are not the most intelligent birds among the avians. But they have a wellness pursuit by habit!
Why is that humans with all the enlightenment and information, fall short of taking wellness measures seriously!
Stay well for a long haul, is the message which the Bulbuls bring to me!
Is the traction in the evening for a peg of alcohol or for a de-stressing body exercises ! This is a slogan which is popular with the social activists concerned about alcohol dependance!
