Gitie House is one of the
founders of WingedHearts.org (http://wingedhearts.org) relationship between
their dogs and a magpie. They discovered the birds' eagerness to
communicate and make friends with humans, and share with people their
incredibly rich, loving and complex relationships within their bird
families, communities and vast network with other species.
The joys and healing of
connecting with nature extends beyond listening to the beautiful bird
songs and photographing them. At WingedHearts.org Gitie helps people
expand their understanding of the birds around them through a variety
of true stories and slideshows. Readers can also share their stories
in the Wild Bird Talking e-zine as well as get tips on how to
communicate with the birds, understand their responses, create a
bird-friendly environment around them and enjoy being more connected
with other creatures in nature that share our planet with us.
At WingedHearts.org one can find many slideshows, stories and articles that show how deep, meaningful and loving wild birds can be towards humans and each other when we show a little interest in them, earn their trust and treat them with respect. New items are regularly added and readers can access any of the information free.
Wild Bird Talking is a bi-monthly e-zine which readers can subscribe to free of cost to keep abreast of news re wild birds and backayrd birds around the world, tips from experts on attracting and talking to wild birds; backyard bird and digital photography, readers' stories, book reviews and more.
Latest developments showing aspects of the complex and enriching world of wild bird relationships and news are posted weekly on the WingedHearts Blog.
When
we treat other creatures with respect and communicate with them
lovingly, we give them the chance to respond to us with their
intelligence, care and sense of duty. Then we humbly discover how
little we understood them and how deeply they have been wronged. I
have found animals and birds to be extremely perceptive, intelligent,
deeply caring, willing communicators, spiritual and complete beings
manifesting God's love with their own unique characteristics that we
humans are only just beginning to discover. Gitie House
There are many well-known inspiring quotes on animals. The following are a small selection from 'Pawprints and Purrs Inc.' website.
"Living
with animals can be a wonderful experience, especially if we choose
to learn the valuable lessons animals teach through their natural
enthusiasm, grace, resourcefulness, affection and forgiveness."
~ Richard H. Pitcairn, American Veterinarian, Pet Nutritionist and
Author
"I
could not have slept tonight if I had left that helpless little
creature to perish on the ground." (Reply to friends who chided
him for delaying them by stopping to return a fledgling to its nest.)
~ Abraham Lincoln, Sixteenth President of the United States
"If
you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the shelter
of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with
their fellow men..." ~ St. Francis of Assisi, Roman Catholic
friar, founder of the Franciscans order
