Do Birds Know About God?
Do birds know about God? That’s a good question (I’ve had hundreds of kids ask me this question). Let’s first look at: why do birds have wings and legs, and can fly and walk, and why do they build nests, and lay eggs and why do they play a roll in our epoch, I mean, they have come up through Greek mythology, as well as Egyptian, and in some of our earlier cultures men had wings, and heads of birds, even as far back as the birdmen of the South Pacific Islands (13,000 —26,000 BC). Of course there are some birds that don’t fly, like the ostrich, to heavy, but that’s not part of this question.
Anyhow, for one of the questions—the Wings: legend says, “God put hands and wings in a vase, and told his two new creatures to blindly pull one out, and they were both trying, one with their toes, and the other with its claws, and the bird snagged the wing, and the human grabbed onto the index finger with his big toe and the little one next to it, and God said, “Well done!” and that was that. Evidently, God had already given them both legs.
The egg, now there are a few schools of thought on the egg, I shall tell you the old, old, very old legend one: on a far Pacific island (some say Borneo) there were two angels, and God told them to figure out a way how to teach mankind the shape of the moon, and the earth, so they’d not forget it—and who made it a sign you might say, because earth was going to be a great gift to humankind, and now the earth was made, and man was about to be placed upon it. And so the two angels thought and thought, and one came up with the design of the square indicating north, south, east and west—and showed God a Rock. And God said, “That’s not good enough” and so the two angels quite heart broken, tried a second time, and after a long period of thinking, said, “Have the bird with the wings, which can fly about everywhere, lay eggs the shake of the earth, and how can man not notice that?” And God said, “Well done, but now you got to find a home for this wondering creature!” So the two angels were tasked a double task: and to get on the good side of God since they screwed up the first time, the two angels did themselves well, they created the bird nest, for the birds to lay eggs in, sleep in, and then after they departed, man took the nests and made “Bird nest Soup!” And God looked down and said, “It took you awhile, but you pulled through,” and the angels were happy.
So I do think I’ve now answered the trying questions that have been haunting man for centuries, and in particular children, and as far as “Do birds know about God?” Of course they do, God said in his book—in so many words: I know ever sparrow in ever nest and I feed them, and know even when they fall out of it: and everybody knows there feeder—right? (Although some want to deny it.)
