Keep Cool

Just like people, birds squabble, fight, hurt and kill. When a bird is attacked, other birds engage in an angry squawking frenzy to scare the predator away. Anger is Nature’s way of telling us that we have been hurt unfairly. Being angry on behalf of someone who has been hurt unfairly, is a form of kindness. Their sense of injustice on our behalf helps us keep control of our own anger because we know we are not alone. Birds show us that when we have been wronged, we need other people to validate our pain, so we can keep our cool.
