I am a little sad and very enlightened at the same time right now.
About 4 hours back I along with the help of my friend Yashpal, had accomplished the task of throwing away a wild and big nest of a bird.
I call that a task because the nest was built inside a cavity that holds the electric mains of my house. So, basically inside the cavity there is a coiled wild of electric wires of yellow, red and green in colour; below which there was a coil of brown twigs all strewn to form a bird's nest.
I had earlier thought of throwing away the nest, but at that time I had discovered some strange coloured eggs, so I refrained. But now as there were no signs of a living creature there, so I managed to make my electrical mains cavity clean.
Plus, I had no regrets of my task, as I had practically killed no one, also there are plenty of high rise and bushy trees in my house compound, so I was thinking that my act will prompt the feathered ones to build their household in them instead.
But just few minutes ago when I went out, I was surprised to notice that the remains of the nest, that we had thrown to the floor were just not there. I was surprised because no one visited my house after that, and also my domestic maid is on a leave. That sight made me wonder who the hell cleared the twigs and stems from my house.
And just then it struck me to check out the cavity where the nest was originally situated. And to my utter surprise, the nest was back in its place, with a new decor. I mean this time it was more towards the right hand corner of the cavity, instead at the center where it was at the last time. May be the birds now must have felt the right hand corner more secure, considering the wall of the cavity acting as a barrier, probably. I seriously do not know what the intelligent aves must have thought. But since that re-building incident, I have been doing a lot of thinking. I seriously regret my act of destroying their hard work.
And I also got a lesson, no one can stop you from re-building. Wow, a big salute to those hard working and positive spirited ones. Wish each one of us could learn a little from them.
The only thing I hope now is that none of those birds face a shock from the loose hanging electric wires.
And needless to mention, I also got a grouch from my husband for the same. And just few days ago he was the one who called me lazy for not clearing that overgrown nest.
Guess, some people like me are born unlucky.
