Hail Earth & Her Birds

Every Morning, when I wake up, the first thing I do, is look out of the window and thank my universal shelter for this miracle, the blue planet, 3th from the Sun, God's Universal descendants habitat. I start my day with Green Tea, I walk or look into the Garden and feed the Birds. It's a feast of Friends. Started doing this 3 years ago, feeding the Blackbirds, trying to save their chicks from danger, nursing my Sunflowers and Roses.
Today there are a every day, a blackbird family, a solitaire black pigeon and two beautiful big grey and white wood pigeons.
I always screamed @ the Crows, like a Crow, Warning them for my presence, telling them I protect the other Birds. There are Tomtits, Robin's,

and many swallows, they do not feed on my bread but they fly and dance around and sing for us, together with the blackbirds.
I am learning the Blackbirds Language and I can whistle some of their one-liners....:-)
Recently one of my Profound Teachers told me to change strategy. I started to feed the crows too, in search of the White Crow. Things changed rapidly. First came the Jackdaws (sort of small crow). It was tough because these birds are so rude and cheeky, they don't care about any other birds and they are aggressive. Then another magical thing, there came a Jay (also a crow species) with it's beautiful colours.

Then the Big Black Crows arrived, many of them, few smaller ones and ONE really Big Crow. I am becoming friends now with these Crows, because I need to, if I want to find the White One. This is becoming a mayor part of my QUEST. Overcoming the dark darkness into the Bright Light. The White Crow!

A few days ago there was a very good sign; I was playing guitar for the open window, early in the morning, I was playing; Nights in white Satin, when suddenly I looked up......in front of the open window there was an awesome sight. There were two pigeons, a large black crow with a few white feathers, two jackdaws, a Jay and the blackbird couple. Is this special?.........Yes these birds never tolerate each other in normal conditions, My window is about 1.25 x 1.25 so my view is limited, still all these birds where in front of me so they where very close to me and each other among different species, thus YES this was very special. If the Birds can get along we can do it too! Feeding the Birds was a good Advice!
After feeding, I clean my Altar, drink more Green Tea and light frankincense, 1 candle that burns all day for departed souls, and two during my meditation & contemplation, some would call that prayers.
This ritual is about an hour and @ 8 my daily day can start, just after thanking Our Universe and our Earth in it; I say thank you for another magical and beautiful Day to Come.

Our bird feeder is our little dharma altar for the outdoors. To watch them eat and interact with each other is like watching a magic show. Lulu, our border collie, loves to watch too. They are her friends. She sits and watches and keeps the neighbors cat from coming too close. It's really wonderful to watch!
Dear LEO,
It is a magnificent and beautiful story !
The description is so sincere and vivid and lively, that I really felt that I am with you while you were feeding and watching the birds !!
Birds, too, have consciousness. When they are invited by a human consciousness with all nobility and higher aspiration, they can feel it — and that is the reason they ONE and there is a tolerance, with a diviner feeling to it.
And thank you for referring to one of the Profound Teachers !
Sincerely
Barin
