Ձմռանը, հատկապես` խիստ սառնաշունչ օրերին ես միշտ կերակրում եմ տնային ճնճղուկներին (Passer domesticus) մեր պատուհանից: Սովորաբար կերակրում եմ հացով: Վիթխարի երջանկություն ու խաղաղություն եմ ստանում` անելով դա: Փոքրիկ ճնճղուկներին կերակրելիս և դիտելով, թե ինչպես են նրանք հացի փշրանքները տանում իրենց բները, ես միշտ մտածում եմ հետևյալը. Այս գիշեր ևս մեկ ընտանիք չի քնի սոված: Սա բնությանը, կենդանիներին օգտակար լինելու իմ փիլիսոփայությունն է: Եթե անգամ սա փոքրիկ օգուտ է բնությանը, միևնույն է, ես միշտ ու անպայման գործադրում եմ այդ համեստ ջանքը` աջակցելու համար: Խնդրում եմ, եկեք մտածենք մի փոքր կենդանիների և, ընդհանրապես, բնության մասին: Եկեք օգնենք կենդանիներին, և մի օր մոլորակը կդառնա մի այնպիսի վայր, որտեղ բոլոր արարածները, այդ թվում` մարդիկ, ապրում են սիրո, խաղաղության ու ներդաշնակության մեջ:

In winter, especially during the severe cold days I always feed the house sparrows (Passer domesticus) from our window. I usually feed them bread. I get a tremendous happiness and peace doing that. When feeding the little sparrows and watching how they take the bread crumbs to their nests I always think the following – Tonight one more family will not sleep hungry. This is my philosophy of being useful for Nature, for Animals. Even if this is a very little benefit to Nature anyway I always and definitely make that humble effort to support. Please, let’s think a little about the Animals and about the Nature in whole. Let’s help the Animals, and one day our Planet will become a place where all the Creatures, including the Humans, will live in Love, Peace and Harmony.

aw this is so beautiful Arlen!
Dear Doris, today you wrote so important and nice words to me on Twitter: “Its such a nice story, little by little we can help earth, thanks Arlen”. Yes! little by little we can help earth, take care of nature! Thank you so much for your nice words!
Oh well I feel just like you, some people think that they do not make a difference but any can help earth. Your post is a good one maybe more people will do it too. Have a great weekend.
Have a great weekend too and again thank you from all my heart for your lovely comments and for inspiring sincerely. You have so much light inside!
How awesome, Arlen. I have two seed feeders and two hummingbird feeders myself, and my sentiments echo your beautiful prose almost exactly. That I am helping these little souls…
Very beautiful comment, dear Karen! Yes, they are so little and often so helpless. We must help all the creatures. Thank you so much for your nice words!
Great Arlen. I do always feed the ducks and swans outside the boat and I do get a happiness as well to do that. The picture is so cute
When I worked in a bakery many years ago the left overs from the day we went with to the bird rescue and they took it around town in Stockholm and fed the birds.
I am so glad that you share with me this! Thank you! Caroline, you are very kind and nice person and I appreciate your every word! Thank you!
Very nice what you do, dear Arlen, for nature! Very nice for feeding birds with bread crumbs! Congratulations.
I also tend to feed the birds!
On the ledge of my balcony, I put them as you like, bread crumbs, whole grains and rods and a bowl of water. And Fri birds happy and reward me with beautiful singing.
A family of sparrows are always present.
One morning, I woke up later and the food was not ready for them. I was amazed that or close to my bedroom window and struck its beak in window … I was amused when I heard.
Once I put food and ate, it went belly full and did not come back until the afternoon!
But this story was very funny!
Have a wonderful evening, dear Arlen and a blessed weekend!
Sincerely Stefania!
Thank you so much for your memories and for this lovely story! Stefania, writing this post I hoped it will tocuh people’s souls. There is kindness in every human’s soul. We must do everything not to loose that kindness.
Thakn you for your lovely and touching comment!
You are spreading happiness by your story about feeding birds and even the least of these creatures are from God/Supreme Being/Muhammed… we all belong to Him.
Yes, we all belog to Creator and all we as well as all the other creatures the birth of His boundless Love. Thank you for your comment. It is so nice of You! Much appreciated!
A great act of love for animals.
I like to feed in these cases, I think they should thank spades.
A great weekend.
My affections and salutations
Thank you for the great support and encouraging! You wrote so nice words, I deeply appreciate your attention!
Arlen, so beautiful. They must look forward to seeing you! Isn’t that a great feeling!
It is an amazing feeling!
Thank you Judy, you are kind as always!
Life is abundant and what joy there is in showing compassion for even the smallest of God’s creatures! We have a Martin Motel (16 small gourds mounted on a tall pole) and several bird houses my husband build. I just put out birdseed and corn for the squirrels this morning. Saw a bluebird investigating one of the houses and it is not even springtime yet!
You are unique as always Sharla! Thank you so much!
Dear Arlen,
I have a few stories for you with sparrows. My father passed away when I was only 12. My mother told me that sometimes people that we love that pass come back in the form of animals and communicate with us. The first time this happened to me was back in 2003 when I went to visit my mom in Europe. On our way back at the airport I was very sad to leave. It was the airport in Niece and there were a few birds flying around inside. I was eating a croissant with my then really young daughter. A little sparrow came by the table and I gave it some bread. Then I said if you would like some more you can take it from my hand. You will not believe it Arlen, The bird perched on my hand and ate the croissant! People around were in disbelief! I think it was my father reassuring me that it was ok to leave and come home.
On another occasion my daughter and I were leaving our apartment when we saw a bird that was stuck on a sticky mousetrap someone threw out. I ran upstairs and got oil and tried everything to take the bird off but it just would not work. It broke my heart! Then my daughter said why don’t we take it to the vet as it was just down the road. We took the bird on the sticky pad to the vet and miraculously they were able to free the bird. I was OVER THE MOON with happiness!
There are so many other stories of me and birds that I can go on for days. I believe that animals speak to us if we decide to listen. I feel blessed to be touched by them and that they choose me.
This post made my day as I never throw bread in the garbage but give it to the birds and squirrels in this cold climate of Canada they need help in the winter months. Thank you for doing your share to make this world a better place for all animals.
Sincerely,
Éva
Dear Eva, I was so touched when I read your comment. It touched my soul. Thank you for your emotions, memories that you shared with me. It is so nice of you, so sweet! Thank you! I really appreciate this sincere friendship, when two people on the opposite sides of the internet can share this kind of personal memories and emotions. Thank you!
Arlen
Thank YOU Arlen for giving me a place to share my voice. I think that you move so many people in such a beautiful way on a daily basis. Your energy and passion to help others and animals is truly beautiful to see. Thank you for caring about the planet and everyone that resides on it. You are a revolutionary and caring soul and we need more people like you.
Blessings,
Éva
I am so touched, thank you! You are caring soul too, a wonderful person! Thank you, dear Eva!
Be blessed in Love and Happiness!
Thank you Arlen, Blessing, Love and Happiness to you as well!
Let your family live in Peace, Love, sincere and faithfull emotions! You are very nice person and I wish everything be great for you!
Bread and water help our feathered friends through the new normal of wierd weather! I try to put out both too. I used to have bird feeders but the mega poop that would end up around it was a turn off!
I think that birds are very tahnkful to you! You are very kind person. You know, today there is a lack of kind people like you!
Arlen I like to think there are lots of kind people (like YOU) in the world but since people like to go to the colisseums to watch bloodletting instead of the arboreums for their news…kind people get overlooked far too much!
Thank you for sharing all this with me!
