Thankyou, for increasing my knowledge about birds I have not seen. With the scare of bird flu, and the increas of human population growth, to destroy to make more room for here today gone tomorrow gadgets, or instant gradification gadgets, that last for a short while, by destroys so much of our environment,our tomorrows children will never know. I live in the US and it embarrasses me knowing how ignorant our children, and majority of adults are about life around us. So many people say they are proud to be an American, or claim to be a Christian, yet so many want when they want it, and don't care about how it affects the planet. Birds and animals are constantly caught in throw away trash, or sliced and diced in boat engins , or the new age tecnology of windmills. To me, so many people are sitting in the eyes of America and God, through their disrespect. I also have seen this direspect in other countries too, therefore the problem is universal. It makes my day to learn there are people like you who care to capture the beauty in God's gift, and willing to take the time to sare with the rest of us who care, or just learning to care.
