who we are and how we live?

Part one
Family birth moment

“The real life in the city is in the sky and on the top of a big tree or on a branch near the trunk,” the dove thought, “There is light, good air and it’s easy to be alone if that’s what I want.
But today he himself knew that he wanted changes in his life.

The dove waited for its dove with special impatience.
Long ago, yesterday they met high in the sky and decided to live together.
Now he is waiting for her and remembers how, after meeting the dove, he sat on the top of the highest tree and began to coo.
His dove flew in and sat down beside him.
The dove noticed that his dove was the most beautiful in the sky and on the tree!

And here she sits next to me and steals too.
The dove enjoyed the fact that his dove was beautiful and very natural.
She behaved with him like a little chick: her beautiful legs were slightly bent, as babies do when they take food from their parents.
And she flapped her wings.
She stretched her beak up and began to coo with him.
The pigeon chose her as a friend because she lived far from the city center.
Because he did not like those who live in the city center.
Usually they were lazy and fat.
Why did they become like this?
Because they ate what people gave them.  And you need to eat only healthy organic food.

Today they have chosen a place for their future home.  It was this tree that was very suitable for its construction.
In the meantime, they decided to fly on their "honeymoon trip".

They cooed a bit more together.
Then both flapped their wings and their journey began.
They flew over their hometown, a small village.
Then they flew over a large field.
Behind him was the forest.  That's where they flew.
They circled over the forest.
Dove and dove are tired.  I needed to rest.
It was difficult for them to choose a cozy place for this.  But, nevertheless, they liked one tall tree.
It grew right next to the field.  And it was from this tree that the forest began.
The dove and dove sat on the highest and strongest branch and began to coo.  But this day, like ordinary days, also ended.
And they decided to spend their first night together on a branch of this tree.
Birds were still singing all around.
The lark especially tried to sing.
There were only melodies of love in his singing!



Part 2l
Lark and Owl


The loud singing of the lark was perceived by the dove and dove with great pleasure.
It seemed to them that he sings only to them and about their love.
The dove in his mind thanked the lark for his singing.
And the dove suddenly felt sorry for the singer.
She remembered her mother's warning that little birds have their main enemy.  And in larks it is a falcon.
He preys on small birds only when they are flying.  Because then they get carried away with their singing and forget about the danger.
But if the lark sees the danger, then
falls like a stone to the ground.  This saves him from death in the sky.
But the lark also has enemies on earth.  These are predators such as ferrets and foxes.
They even need to be afraid of people.  Not all, of course.  And those who love to eat them and consider them a delicacy.

It looked like this lark was tired of singing and decided to rest.
He sat on a branch of a tree, which was a little lower than the one on which the dove and her dove were sitting.

“Are you going to bed already?” a voice was heard.
The dove looked down and saw a large bird with a strange head.
- How wrong you live!  - The bird continued, - Now is the best time for hunting.  Quiet around.  It is good to hear how the mice run.  You just need to aim and you have lunch.
- How can you eat mice?  They have whiskers, nails and a tail.  This is not a very healthy food, said the lark.
“You should know that everything that is bad for my stomach, I just spit it out,” Owl slowly explained to the student, like a teacher, “In fact, my diet is more extensive and varied.  I have a very good stomach.  And my very poisonous gastric juice easily copes with any food.
The dove looked at the bird again.
Her eyes were exactly in the center of her head.  They looked like very large and round lights of cars in the city.  The dove looked into those eyes.
They did not blink and directed their gaze to one point.
And suddenly the head of this bird turned 180 degrees.  She did it so quickly and easily that it didn't even seem to inconvenience the bird.
- Owl, - the lark turned to this bird, - you live wrong!  At night you walk, hunt and then sleep all day.  You don't see anything, you don't play sports, you don't enjoy the sunrise.  You are nowhere.  That's why you don't have friends.  Your life is boring.
Only food at night and daytime sleep!
You need to change your life!  Everything passes you!  And life is such an interesting and fun thing!
- Tell me, lark, if I live like you, how can I live without food?  My food can only be caught at night.  And only at night I can hear and see perfectly.

You need to change your life!  Stop breaking the silence so early in the morning!  And you will have the strength to live at night.
You go to bed at 10 or 11 pm.
And life is just beginning!  You are missing out on life!
- Dear owl!  - answered the lark, -
I eat plant foods.  I eat grass seeds, and seeds of different types of millet and buckwheat.
And when oats and wheat ripen, I use them with pleasure.
- Listen to me, Lark!  You have such a wide choice and great opportunities!  But, I've seen you swallow rocks!  Why are you doing this?
- So that hard grains of cereals are better digested in my stomach.  And I do not swallow stones, but I peck small pebbles.  And when the snow melts in spring and the sun warms, I eat various insects.
I like to eat small bugs, spiders, insect larvae and butterfly pupae.
This is how I eat all summer!
What do you say Owl?  I can't eat otherwise!  And all this is clearly visible only during the day!
- Lark, I'm sitting on a tree.  I can see and hear well from him.  I fly and catch my food.  Why are you flying all day?  To just sing?  For everyone to hear you?
Why do you need to fly at all?
- I fly to see beauty and sing about it to everyone!
You're right, Owl!  I always hunt only on the ground.  I don't catch insects when I fly.  And I don't drink water.  And I drink dew.
And it happens only early in the morning on the leaves of plants.
- If you don't like water, how do you wash your face?
- I don't need a bath or shower.  To be clean, I bathe in dust or sand.  This is a great way to clean feathers.
- Listen, lark!  You can easily wake up early in the morning.  Me not!  You live during the day so actively.  And I need to sleep at this time.  At night, I have to do my job - to catch rodents and eat them.  Otherwise, I will die of hunger.  You need to sleep at night because you see and have your food only during the day.
- What should we do?  We are so different and do not understand each other.  I thought it was you who needed to change everything in your life.  But, you think exactly the same about me!  Something is wrong here!
You are wise, tell me how to live right?
The owl thought and answered: - We do not need to change anything!  Otherwise, we ourselves will create many problems for ourselves and others!  And we just can't live!
You, Lark, must live your life, and I, Owl, must live mine!  I love you and so!
- And I love you so!  - said Lark and flew to his house.
The owl waved its wing to the lark, flew up and disappeared into the night forest.


Chapter 3
We are different


The dove and dove listened to all this very attentively.
The dove spoke first.
- Who are we?  And how should we live right?
- Pigeons!  - The dove answered, - And we are somehow between "owls" and "larks".
Do you wake up very early?
- No, usually at 7 am, sometimes at 9.
- And me too.  Do you sleep during the day?
- No!  I have my own schedule for every day.  I have time to do everything until the evening.  And after 10 pm I go to bed.
They hugged their wings and the dove said: - My dove, let's always be the way we are!  And live the way we want!  This is the answer to the question "what is right for us."
And never ask each other to change something in your life!
And take care of what we fell in love with each other!
