The majestic flight

The majestic flight of birds is a sight to watch. A flock of pigeons fly together in a circle and do present a magnificent site. They look as synchronized as professional dance troupe would look while performing. While handling the rigors of life we usually ignore the bounties that nature has bestowed on us. There are too many pigeons around my house and every morning I see them perched on a rooftop or enjoying a short flight. However, they always return as they have marked their territories that they call home.

As a child I remember, there used to be a pigeon that lived on our windowsill. One day a cat came and killed the pigeon's offspring and there was spurt of blood all over the window. We thought the pigeon will leave and go and search for a new home, however, we were surprised when she returned and again made her new nest at the very same place that the cat had destroyed.

Will the cynics say the pigeon was foolish or brave?
