I hate copy and paste as much as the next person but I thought this was so good I just had to share it with you.
~The Wisdom of Flying Geese~
In the Spring, when you see geese heading North for the Summer or
South in the Fall, flying along in "V" formation, you might be interested
in knowing what scientists have discovered about why they fly that way.
It has been learned that as each bird flaps its wings, it creates an uplift for the bird immediately following.
By flying in "V " formation, the whole flock adds at least 71% greater
flying range than if each bird flew on its own.
Basic Truth #1- People who share a common direction and sense of
community can get where they are going quicker and easier because
they are traveling on the thrust of one another.
Whenever a goose falls out of formation, it suddenly feels the drag
and resistance of trying to go it alone and quickly gets back into
formation to take advantage of the lifting power of the bird immediately in front.
Basic Truth #2- If we have as much sense as a goose, we will stay
in formation with those who are heading in the same direction as we are.
When the lead goose gets tired, he rotates back in the wing and another goose flies point.
Basic Truth #3- It pays to take turns doing hard jobs, with people or
with flying geese.
These geese honk from behind to encourage those up front to keep up their speed.
Basic Truth #4- We need to be careful what we say when we honk from behind.
Finally, when a goose gets sick, or is wounded by gunshot, and falls out,
two geese fall out of formation and follow him down to help and protect him. They stay with him until he is either able to fly or until he is dead, and then they launch out on their own or with another formation until they catch up with their group.
Final Truth- If we have the sense of a goose, we will stand by each other, protect one another and sometimes make new friends who seem to be going in our direction.

HHCTB?What a great website http://birdsight.com Thanks for sharing it. We got my very young great niece a bird book and their sounds She just loves it. She is able to listen and tell what birds she is hearing when she is out side. They are getting a bird feeder that will have a microphone connected so they can hear the wonderful sounds of these little creatures as they eat and chit chat. I kind of think of it as a cafeteria. Teaching children about the wonders of nature while they are young is something that all parent should try to do. This little gal loves critters just as much as I do. Thanks for sharing your site but I was not able to sign up for your newsletter. It went to a OPP's Page. Cindy Jul 14th 2010 05:35 |

 Thanks for telling me about the page error I just changed autoresponders and have not put up new sign up pages for all of my sites. I will do that one tonight. I started this bird site as an educational page for my environmental education classes. Jul 15th 2010 22:04 |

HHCTB?I signed up thanks Love the video. I will post a link to that on my Critter Blog. Looking forward to what will follow Cindy Aug 6th 2010 15:18 |
I love seeing your geese story. I have often referred to the first two lessons but had not considered the last two lessons that are also part of the real story. Who said bird brains were not smart? Birds are a passion of mine see http://birdsight.com for an example if you chose.
