Watching the bird lady and her birds you can learn many of life's lessons. You learn to appreciate and connect with nature, and take the time to stop and take in life's treasures. In nature you see animals and how they cope with bullying; the birds ignore it, are resilient and won't be victims. The birds unite against a common enemy (the cat), and win the battle! "Crooked Feet" won't let his disability stop him from enjoying life, he can do so many things well! The bird lady takes the good with the bad- the enjoyment and connection of these wonderful birds does come with a mess to clean! One problem is solved with the hat! We can celebrate motherhood with Mother Magpie. We can watch how the Bird Lady makes friends by being gentle, kind, patient and constant and gains the trust of her birds who visit her daily.
