Nature's Teachers
I like this image for two reasons
1. It's clean frame and straight lines. Uncomplicated and simple just like Nature itself.
2. There is a story to this bird (or at least the one I perceive it to be).
This koyal (I presume it is one, though I love birds I cannot name them or their breeds) sits on this cable wire every morning, around eightish, just when the morning sun is at its glorious best.
Nothing fascinating about that. However, what is is that this cable wire is the fiefdom of a group of parrots. They are extremely territorial about this cable wire. This is where they chit chat, romance, squabble, and do all the things that parrots generally do.
I hardly see any other bird occupying this pace for more than a few seconds. If they do -then they are in for trouble.
However, every morning, the parrots let this koyal enjoy the sun from this vantage point. They don't disturb her. They don't chase her away. And for the Koyal, she never returns to this spot until the next morning.
To me that's live and let live policy at its best. There is space under the sun for everyone. And it is rightly said, that Nature is after all the best teache
