The beauty of the creatures of nature that we love can sometimes blind us to the reality of the wild. Life, and death, are part of the same drama. While sometimes I bemoan the fact that we imprison our parrot friends in cages, it is also a fact that some of us rescue them from dangerous situations, and give them long, happy lives. This Falcon is doing what is required for survival, and the Grackle is part of the great Mandela. Each of us needs to come to terms with the truth of our existence, and the truth of the lives of all of us, including parrots, falcons, and grackles. Are you prepared every day to meet your Falconer?
