But first a short picture story.
We are so happy to hear that our dams are filling up and one dam is even overflowing after all the rains. They say that tomorrow another cold front will be coming in. Of couse the birds know that if their stomachs are full, then they can endure the rain and the cold conditions.
Little Robbie, our resident Cape Robin-chat (Cossypha-caffra), made sure that we saw him when we arrived back at home. I had just parked our car when Robbie flew up to sit on the gate.
Then he popped up onto the car door mirror (1st picture) and after he was sure that I saw him, he took off to show Marian where he wanted his food.
Ah yes, he wanted his food placed into our small court yard, as the walls protects him from the winds and the cats can't climb over the walls.
Short story end.
Here we had a Pintail Whydah (Vidua macroura) on a feeder in a neighbor's garden.
Later in the afternoon the sun gave us a break and the doves came down to eat some tree berries.
And here the terrible twins also arrived for supper.
A conclusion can be drawn here that birds and animals know instinctively how to endure bad weather. Occasionally one can get trapped in a storm or heavy animals can sink into wet deep mud, but in most cases the other members of the herd will help them out.
How is it then that we as humans cannot get this right?
So many people fall by the wayside with no food and no help. No hope and they struggle severely. Yes at Papillon we feed many and other organizations across the world also feed many, but it's all only a drop in the ocean of suffering. Maybe whenever one goes to a shop, it will be simple to buy an extra can of soup and some bread to hand to a person that sits destitute in the street?
Something to think about.
And That's All Friends!

This is a good thought, to buy some extra food and give it away. I find the gesture more useful than giving away money, as many might not have the right idea as about what to do with it. Food is better.
Thank you Lady Mary and yes, we never give money at the traffic lights. We have a bag in the car with fresh sandwiches and a small orange juice drink that we give to each of them.
The heartsore thing is that some take the sandwiches and drop them on the ground while demanding money. Those are the ones that we never help again, as most of them that demand money is on drugs.

Oh wow, throwing away food. Addiction is really a sad thing to watch, I can only hope that somehow God will give these people the power to change their lives
Sadly we have tried to help many of them my friend, but they are lost causes, as the drugs have turned their minds into zombie status. It is a terrible status to be in and surely a living hell.
