Birds

Just about a week ago I was alone at home... I was out in front of the house, on the porch. I was reading a book and when I paused I noticed a bird. It was a small yellow feathered bird with a sweet tune. It was clinged to my grandmothers flower pot having its fill. Then it flew to my neighbours flowers and fed on them. This got me to realise that there was a time when we had used birds to deliver our mail and messages, especially during mid evil times and wars. The only place I see this now is in my 2nd favourite movie…Harry Potter. I love those owls, their sense of loyalty and efficiency just appeals to me. I wonder if its possible for us today to use birds for the purpose of communication…..according to my research, there is a place in Ireland that still uses such a mode for communication.
