At times, the acts in nature are so similar to our human lives.
I heard the distinctive sounds of quarreling crows and popped outside to see what was going on.
It is said that once a person reaches the top spot, then all of the guns will be turned upon the person. I was reminded about this by watching the actions of the Pied Crows in this story today. The main guy landed at the flimsy top of this big tree, and he had a battle to stay up in the wind. So not only was nature attacking him om on his precarious seat, but some comrades also decided to challenge him.
Come and watch the battle for him to stay up there.
One at the top and another crow a bit lower down.
So, the lower one tried to dislodge the top one, but he ducked under it.
These are the areas where Pied Crows (Corvus albus) can be found.
Distribution and habitat
This species, Africa's most widespread member of the genus Corvus, occurs from sub-Saharan Africa, specifically Nigeria, Ghana, Senegal, Sudan, Somalia, Eritrea, Zambia, Botswana, Mozambique and Zimbabwe, south to the Cape of Good Hope and on the large island of Madagascar, the Comoros Islands, Aldabra, Assumption Island, Cosmoledo, Astove Island, Zanzibar, Pemba, and Fernando Po. It inhabits mainly open country with villages and towns nearby. It does not occur in the equatorial rainforest region. It is rarely seen very far from human habitation, though it is not as tied to the urban way of life as the house crow (Corvus splendens) of Asia and may be encountered far from human habitation in Eritrea.
The wind also tried to dislodge the crow.
In the meantime, he watched another screaming crow coming in.
So, the challenge was on, and our hero jumped into battle with the challenger.
Oops! he only just managed to land back on the top.
And finally, having proven his staying power, he released his grip and opened his wings for the wind to carry him away.
Battles, survival, lifestyles, and so many other humanism's can also be found in nature. The weavers for instance taught early mankind how to build woven huts and the swallows taught how to cover the walls of the huts with mud. So many other lessons were gathered from nature over time and even a dragonfly's flight abilities were used to design the helicopter.
So, nature is an integral part of us, and it has to be protected for our children's children to also enjoy the Creator's works.
Such should be life.
I hope you enjoyed the pictures and the story.
