About birds

by Gacina Bozidar


When the years were not so long and when the first men never counted the years the birds were thinking about nothing but the inventions of all those dates and years brought a little fear to the nature itself. And indeed it was not the fear as much it was puzzle as in the nature the birds will always follow the circles of the life on their own and any time counted by the men will not change them. The time was indeed very pleasant and five hundreds birds were moving to the wonderful South and it was very nice South who served them really as the sun itself. The peoples were mostly the hunters and they ventured to hunt the wild and maybe good bears but the birds could watch all this from above and this distance served them as for observations as for security. Being very high above in the air the bird was not worried of anything and it was the life of the magical feeling of the combination of the nature and the air who served as the wonderful contribution for the natural world of the birds. What is in the sight for one single bird and does the bird care for the events down the earth or she just enjoys in the air? Many schoolgirls wanted to answer this or any other question about the wild and natural life and mostly about the birds because it was thought in the early years of some beliefs that birds were born somewhere at the heaven and not really on earth. Because this appeared to be clear but in the history of human advancement the science made many clear things more clear for the simple or difficult purpose of the science itself. The more interesting question became the question about how the stories and movies about birds became very usual and very often the eyes of the bird are presented in the movies when there is dark wood, the sound from the nature, the silence who precede the sounds, the moves of the strange animals mostly birds. What would be the opinion of the birds about the usual appearances of them throughout the history of the cinema. Do they mostly like the paintings representing the nature or they mostly like the cinema? The schoolboys and schoolgirls tried to answer many of these questions proposed by the teachers and many interesting responses arrived at the school itself and some of the responses were published by the school. The most interesting response spoke about the nature alone. It is to say about the areas of the pure nature where only live the birds or whatever beings. There, they think nothing and they are alone. When the schoolboys and schoolgirls arrive they would like to go not knowing about security but thanks to some kind of good relationship of the good men and good birds or whatever beings, some of the men construct the houses for the birds and even feed them. And it is hard to guess what the birds would think about cinema.
