They Do Care..

I used to watch this cute couple of pigeon everyday..since the day i came to hyderabad for my intern..these 2 small birds used to play with each other..expressing their love in their own way..I had also sat there several times before, to just look at them seeing their way of expressing their feelings for each other and I always used to admire that...Every now and then one of them flies and other one tries to catch... It was a friday i guess I was sitting at my place and I just got out of my room to see what's up with this cute pigeon couple..but I found that they were not there...Instead a silvery white broken egg was present there and a small pigeon which looked as if it is a ball of cotton was lying in the nest..with it eyes closed, as if they are afraid of this big new world.. A sudden thought instantly came to my mind .. Hey don't these birds care for their child..they left him alone here..what if somebody take it away of their nest...what if some other bird come and take it off the nest...several questions come to my mind at once. For sometime I kept on looking at the baby..then came back to my seat again..A full flanged weekend was present in front of me and I was too excited as I was waiting for the weekend since last monday :P...anyways the weekend flew away with a lot of enjoyment..and here it was..Monday again...I reached my work place..there was no work assigned to me for today. I came out to say hello to the pigeons again..but I was completely bewildered by the sight... A snake was trying to climb the pipe to reach the nest in which the baby pigeon was there, and both the pigeons were hitting him hard on the head so as to stop him..Every now and then the snake tries to catch them but they both were faster than the snake. The snake fell down the pipe once and at other moment it again started moving up...without worrying much about the pigeons stroke this time..and yes he was almost there..almost near the baby..I thought of hitting the snake with a stone but at once the thought went away as the stone may hit the baby or the pigeons too...The serpent reached very close to the baby and now I can see the fear in the small eyes of little pigeon..and there it was the sight that I had never imagined..one of the pigeon stroke(She was the mother possibly) the snake so hard that blood came running out of his head...but at the same moment snake has catched the pigeon too...Both of them stroking each other fell down the nest..The pigeon was hitting snake with its poited beak and on the other side the snake was also biting her here and there. After very small interval the show was over..but the bodies were still lying there...The body of a cruel snake and a mother...who didn't worry about her life to save her child's...The baby pigeon was still looking down, fear filled in his eyes and the other pigeon was sitting behind the dead body of the mother pigeon...I felt a kind of guilt in myself...may be because I've not helped them while they were struggling for their child's life or may be because they have proved me wrong...They have proved that every Mother and Father do care for their child...It may occur sometimes that they don't get enough time to express it in front of you..but inside their heart they still hold a vast love for their child...Love that can't be compared with anything.....
