A wild bird

(1/5) > >>

Roy Martin:
I always keep feed out for the wild birds. I was sitting on the porch watching at least 30-40 birds eating and went to fill one of the feeders. All of the birds scattered except for a little red colored finch that continued to eat. I stood watching it from 12 inches away, it looked at me with no fear and continued to eat. I slowly moved my hand toward it and started petting it, and it put its foot on my hand almost sat on my finger, took a few more bites and flew just a few feet away as I filled the feeder.
 To some this might not seem like anything special, but to me it was a blessing to see and know this wild bird had no fear of me, and trusted me as if it could sense Gods presence in me. I don't know what else it could be.
 Last summer or maybe the one before that , Silvia was working in the flower garden when a little wild bird came to her and landed on her shoulder, looked at her for a few seconds, Silvia spoke to it as it sat a few more seconds and flew away. Silvia called me right away and seemed to have a feeling of being blessed.
 When little unexpected things like this happen which is very rare, it leaves you with a feeling that it meant something from God. I'm not certain that that's true, but that's what comes from it. Never in mine or Silvia's life has that ever happened. I just know it was a good feeling and thought I would share this little bird story that just happened before I posted this.

Hi Roy, I can also relate to some degree to your experience.

I have seen many small birds at different times get blown offshore from storms and sometimes they will seek shelter on the boat that I am on. There was one time not long ago that I seen and held a humming bird in the palm of my hand. It had flown into the Bridge (wheel house) through an open door and was a little confussed as to how he would get back out the area. I couldn't believe at first that I was even seeing a humming bird up close like that and thought I might attempt to help the little fella out so I approached him slowly with my hand out stretched and he hopped right in my hand as if to say, "OK, I trust you, lets go" after he and I exchanged closer looks at each other, I stepped outside the door and off he went. I'll never forget it.

I have a picture of him in my hand and if I can figure out how to get it off my phone and on my computer I'll share it with ya.

Roy Martin:
Stacey, then you know how this little thing can touch and affect our heart.
I'm just a sensitive guy that appreciates some of the smallest things in life that God blesses us with, even through a tiny little wild bird.

Stacey:
I cant agree more with ya Roy, amen.

That is very special!

Perhaps there was no Beast to be seen  in you by the little birds that is larger or more visible in others who do not take the time or even care to feed or help the birds.

 I know that birds are very sensitive creatures and they can feel feelings and atmospheres. Also, I only recently learnt that a birds lungs are perpetually filled with oxygen! They do not breathe in and out like beasts do!  I can talk to them and they respond but that is the closest I have been. :D
Thank you for sharing.
