Watching their flight inspires me. I have an immense affection for birds, for the freedom and independence they represent. I think I learn to appreciate them from my father who use to tend to them, feed them, and admire them. He cared a lot for animals. He taught me about the value of life.

I saw them in a parking structure today and they were fluttering about me. They brought me happiness and sadness at the same time. They reminded me of unfree my lovebirds are inside their cage.
