“God loved the birds and invented trees. Man loved the birds and invented cages.”
The sweet cardinal who visits my garden usually sits in "her" perch in a tree in my neighborhood, where she often sounds like a telegraph machine, perhaps she's up there texting her birdie comrades, as to if I've put out any food for them to nosh on. Today in between her "tick-tick-tick" sounds, she was quoting Jacques Deval who is known for saying, "God loved the birds and invented trees. Man loved the birds and invented cages." I think she may have actually picked up this quote from reading my blog, for this past December, here on Blogger, I made reference to Deval, in relation to his quote about flowers and vases; if you'd like to refer to my entry regarding this, please click here.
I have good reason to believe she spends a lot of time gazing at the computer, for she has a bird's eye view into my window, and the minute, and I do mean minute, I turn on my lights in the morning, she begins her "tick-tick-tick" texting to let other birds know that I am awake and will be putting out food for them!

"We have gotta say good-bye for the winter."
Mama Reindeer, seen in the "middle" of the image posted above, is someone whom you may recognize, dear reader, as she came with her twins (standing to her right in the aforementioned image), to spend the 2011-2012 Christmas season in my urban (NYC) garden, and as of today's posting, January 2nd 2012, they are still here.
