BIRDBATH

First thing I had planned to do in the holidays was to make birdbaths. So few days’ back I brought 6 earthen bowls. Now I will explain the making of a birdbath.Hahhaha.i dug the soil, mounted it like a mound and then I placed the earthen bowls, well balanced on the soil. Then I filled them with water. I was happy and I was waiting to see birds coming to my birdbath. Next day amma woke me up to show me, two very little small birds which were drinking water. I was so happy looking at them. They were so cute. They drank water and they hopped around. Even my heart was jumping with joy. I dint expect that birds would come to the birdbath so soon. My idea became a reality. The number of birds coming to the birdbath kept increasing. Then in the afternoon, I saw this bird on the branch preening its feathers through the window. So, slowly I went out and i stood near the door. There were so many birds. Birds of various species, little ones, and little bigger ones, as there are many birdbaths. So, these birds were dipping their bills in the water bath drinking water, few were sitting and soaking, many were rolling in the water and bathing. They splashed around exuberantly. They were thoroughly enjoying themselves. Then few flew to the branches and were preening their feathers. Many were hopping around. Chirping happily. I don’t exactly know the names of the species of birds, which were present,hahahhaha, but there were little black ones, little bigger ones, and brown ones, little sparrows and many more. It was such a lovely sight. I was watching with wide opened eyes with glee and delight. I was soo happy. Wow! it was wonderful. Looking at them enjoying themselves is a different level of enjoyment. Then I called my amma to show her. She was happy too. It was a great experience. Watching them gave me so much satisfaction. And a greater joy. It was beautiful. Poor Laddu I had to tie her up for a while so that the birds were left in peace. Laddu is good at chasing birds.hahhaha. She keeps chasing crows away. Usually I feed crows. But watching birds bathing is completely different. The birds were all cute, graceful and beautiful. It was lovely, lovely. One should experience the joy by themselves cause it can’t be expressed in words. I felt like it was the very soul of happiness. Simple things give so much joy. I am watching them daily and I will keep watching them. What a treat for the eyes and soul. U people too keep watching birds. Do some bird watching.( Here I want to clarify, I seriously mean birds with feathers.hahahahahaha.) You will experience deeper ,inner ,soulful happiness.
