I have been sitting watching these robins that have nested here for years. Sometimes they have built a new nest near an old one and many years have just simply moved into their old nest after their own little make over. They totally fascinates me, three eggs laid and mommy and daddy do equal share of the sitting, eating and diversion when anyone is near their little space. If a bird can understand what it means to have a little one matter more than any other thing, even your own life if a predator is around and you leave the nest to protect those eggs that can not make it if you are not there..........then what does that mean as far as we have evolved. Where have we, in general, lost that? Yah know, to maybe be a bird brain is not such a bad thing!
While we've evolved intellectually, I've always felt we've regressed on an instinctual level. We've come to a point of outsmarting ourselves, really.
I think you have something there. These little critters just seems to do what should be done, no issue, they do. We instead try to reason why we do not.....really a thing to see, us reason away what we should be doing and we know on a level that is so deep that we should do so. Human failing.....we think we progress but we do not, instead we find a way to hide what we do under the guise of it being evolved. Thank you for your insight and thoughts. Clears mine.

We have sparrows that nest in the awning on the front of our house. We've witnessed the birth of at least three generations of sparrows, seen them take their first steps and first flight. This year a robin chased them off and started building a nest using sloppy, muddy, wet grass right over the mailbox and got our letters all wet and muddy. So I put a stuffed owl on the crossbeam about a foot from his nest. No more robin. I hope he shit himself. Maybe the sparrows will come back next year
maybe, but too bad that this year you will not see the birthing of robins. Nature evolves, so will you, I hope.
Some would have us believe that we've been around for the same amount of time.......perhaps birds are just better learners, or "some" don't know what the fuck they're talking about. Who's right? Everybody is right because nobody can prove a damned thing.
And they have travelled well. Nature is just what it is, I just wonder sometimes how we have missed the boat and ignore it so very often as it just easier to do so. I am looking forward to those three eggs hatching and watching those parents teach them to go........life circle.

I don't like robins. I like sparrows. They're much less aggressive and fearless little buggers. As for evolving, I already have and I'm just fine. I didn't get an air rifle and shoot the fucker, did I?
Glad you like sparrows. Love and light to you and yours and I hope your sparrows come back and make a nest. Peace
Comparatively speaking mankind has only been around for a blink of an eye, and so we treat the world around us accordingly. Hotwater
On a positive note: for all of mans failings we did pass the first test, we harnessed the power of the atom and didn’t blowup the world ........ .......yet Hotwater
should I say yet, or should I say that it is sheer luck that we have not yet done so.......or should I compare exactly that to the robins leaving the nest and flying off to a place that diverts me from the nest, so that hopefully one lives of the two and brings those three eggs to little life. I will watch them and rejoice in the birth of the robins as that is all that this life is.
