“The language of birds is very ancient, and like other ancient modes of speech, very elliptical: little is said, but much is meant and understood.”
Gilbert White
From the book: The Secret Language of Birds by Adele Nozedar
It is time to be quiet and listen to the birds.
i love short sweet posts like this. yes. lets just listen for a while.
Not enough listening in the world.
What an amazing quote and painting, thank you for sharing this. Who was the artist of the bird?
Thank you for your comment. The bird came from a book of pictorial archive and clip art from Dover Publications. This particularly one was titled Old-Time Animals, but they have others with simply birds as well. These are good because they are permission-free. Hope that helps.
Not really a bird lover, but I do like to listen to their songs. nice post.
