Be like a bird

Always sit at the highest peak and observe others

Fly to the commotion, say your piece and fly away

Eat a simple specific diet with lots of grains, seeds and nuts found in nature

Build a nest using the regional resources

Protect your nest and family fearlessly

Walk with confidence and attitude

Preen yourself every day and check for ticks

Sing your heart out at dawn and dusk

Be cautious of newcomers

Display all your true colors

Migrate to take in the sights flying south for the winter but travel lightly and stop to rest

Soar to great heights

Return to your old stomping ground

Remain curious

Sunbathe every day

Cherish your freedom!
