I was just walking home with my friend and smack in the middle on the pathway stood a bird. Well, it wasn't actually exactly standing but more of sitting instead. This, to me is really quite queer because birds don't normally sit in the middle of the pavement and secondly, they normally flutter their wings in exit when humans come close!
However, this little bird continued to sit on the pavement as my friend and I approached. As we edged closer to find out what's wrong with this bird, it started waddling away, then strolling, then walking. Our first speculation was that the bird might have been injured. I was thinking "Nah, probably it is just too overweight! Maybe, it even had a heavy lunch!"
See, it was moving really slowly. In fact, birdie was taking its own sweet time to avoid danger (us)
Seeing that the bird was probably fine, we started moving off. Suddenly I turned back and saw birdie crossing the road! Now tell me, how often do you see a bird crossing the road?
Well, at the corner of our eyes we could see a vehicle driving by and immediately we started making loud noises to scare birdie so that it would fly away! Instead, birdie remained on the road and waddled off slowly.
I was still shouting "Birdie, fly.. fly!!!"
Hmm, probably it was both overweight and deaf.
As the vehicle approached closer, we could literally see the impending tragedy of birdie. At this moment, my friend decided to do the unthinkable by shoo-ing birdie off the road!
As you can see above, he really looks as if he is talking the bird of a walk.
Anyway, birdie wasn't afraid of us, or the vehicle, or even my friend who stood really close by.
Finally, my friend brought birdie safety to the other side before crossing the road back to where I was standing. Now, that's a bird hero for you!
I was thinking, it would have been really hilarious if the bird continued to waddle back across the road huh! Then, it would have been a vicious cycle of what I call - Bird Walking.
