Pigeons without Fear

The wild pigeons are normally -and with all the reason- afraid of everything. It's possible that they near you to take a peace of bread or something similar but they do not trust the persons.

Very often you can see the pigeons without one "foot" or one or some fingers. I don't know if it's the all-the-world problem for these birds or only in this part of it. But it's very frequent mutilation. I've seen this pigeon on the balcony of the Nautic Museum in Naples.

The bird was sitting calm when I went out to see the other beautiful view. It was strange because I was dangerously near it. Than, curious to see this behaviour I neared it from the other side -it continue to sit.With my photo camera and sounds it produces, I was not very familiar being but the pigeon did not move.

I left it sit there. Now, I think, the pigeon was probably ill.

The Knight and the Dogs

Dogs are the friends of the humans from unmemorable times. Theylive with us always, they trust us, they live us. They sacrifice their lives to save us.

Everybody knows stories about the dogs that did something good for us. And these stories are not like those about Nessy or smething like this. These stories are from our personal lives:
a boxer of my aunt saved him from bandits killed by one of them,
the old dog left by his owners in our street did not make a step from the place where his owners left him waiting that they will turn to take him -he waited till the death under the hot summer sun left without water and food...
There are many similar stories.

The dogs accompain us in our last trip, too.

What do we, humans, to pay our debts towards these animals?

Friendship between Animals

I was surprised when I watched these videos about these relations -well, it's not friendship but this trust is incredible,you will agree with me. After these 2 I found different other similar videos and you know, I can't understand: how is it possible that cats, dogs do not have the sense of danger? Why are they not afraid of these monsters that come from other world, water?

I know about the friendship between different species of animals in the zoos. I explain it to me that the animals feel too alone, abandoned, closed in a prison. But the animals in these videos are free, there is nobody and nothing who can push them in a similar adventure. And they are simply curious, they transfere their comportment on the aquatic mammals... It's strange, don't you think?

What Can I do for the Earth

You have surely read or listen about the "Earth Hour" movement. Some time ago they invited me -and maybe you too- to turn out the light for one hour. Some important monuments and institution joined the movement this year and they sepnt the light -electric light. But... they burned thousands of candles around that monuments etc.

I did not understand, sincerely: what was the matter of this action? If you want to turn out light -because everybody knows that the light in the night is bad for plants etc- so, if you want to protect the Earth and turn out the light 'you have to stay without light this hour. Specially because there were all the streets full of light around that places. Here you can find the prove that all the places "without light" were full of candles this year: http://www.earthhour.org/Homepage.aspx

Now, in the site of WWF /Russia I found a list of what can we do to really help the Earth. I'll try to translate the list:
create your personal little garden.
do not live the chargers in the plug after it finishes to charge the battery.
go out from the city and look in the sky: the "natural" sky is very different from what we see in the cities.
Do you remember the eveninigs when we, sitting all together near the fire told "Scary"stories? Maybe it's unpossible to have a fire in the city but we can do it burning the candles.
Organize a medieval party for the women: try to do some hand works sitting in the company of other girls with the candles.
Do not buy water in the plastic bottles.

Do not use plastic bags.
Turn out your car when you do not drive.
Walk more or use bicycle.
Open the windows very wide for short time when you air the room.
Use natural light when it's possible.
Do not throw used clothes: give them to those who needs them.
