I have always told people that, compared to humans, bids have a tough life. When a human is hungry, he or she simply goes to the refrigerator, the pantry, or the corner store for fresh tasty food. A bird, on the other hand, must find all its own food. And if it is eats all the seeds in one area today, it must locate a new source of food for tomorrow. Daily foraging for your food can’t be fun not what I considered an easy life.
Until recently. Someone pointed out that the fresh food in the fridge doesn’t miraculously appear. You have to buy it. And you have to buy the fridge and house to hold it all. That all takes money which means having a job, with a daily commute, long hours, and high pressure.
Birds don’t have jobs. They are free to whatever they want. Spend the day as they please. No job pressure, unreasonable deadlines, angry bosses, obnoxious co-workers or 24/7 availability.
Maybe a bird’s life is not as bad as I had thought. Moreover, they can fly. That would be neat.
