New Photo is called - I
I’m never quiet sure whether my actions in certain circumstances are correct.
Take yesterday - I saw a bright yellow Canary which was obviously someone’s escaped pet bird , being chased by a Magpie , and of course I intervened , thus letting the Canary escape .
This was rather like the hawk and my Converse story of a few weeks ago, and yes I admit I take birds off my cats too , so I suppose I’ve got a bit of a history of this kind of thing :)
The question is should I be doing this , as cats aside - the hawk and the magpie have got to survive too , and yes it may not be pleasant standing by and watching this happen , but unfortunately this is essential for survival. in the natural world , and maybe I - like the rest of you , subscribe to the “ out of sight , out of mind” - way of thinking.
I don’t really like watching nature programs on T.V. , especially the ones which have young animals being killed to prove the survival of the fittest ethos - over and over again in glorious flippin’ Technicolor !!! , and was particularly appalled when the B.B.C. repeatedly showed several lions attacking an elephant last year , and yes I know its nature , but my own instinct is to help.
Sorry …………..I can now just imagine the lion picket line outside my house with the …………….“lions have got to eat too” ………….. placards :)
