Birds and Children

I saw a bird this morning that was walking around the middle of the road. I was stopped at a light so I had time to watch him.

They're a lot like children. In order to see what things are, they put them in their mouth. If it's not good, it gets dropped, and they move on.

Somewhere along the way we learn that there are other - more astute - ways to evaluate our surroundings. Namely, our other senses.

I guess that babies haven't learned enough to know what the other senses are telling them, so they stick with what they know.

What are bird's excuse?

  1. Interesting metaphor. My guess is that the bird's excuse is its lack of rational thought. Just a guess though :)
