about winter hunger

These are birds living in the water where their natural food is fish.

On a parking lot at McDonald

they are gathering to wait

if the well fed humans would spare

a little leftover when

there is no fish.

Hunger does not know limits for the quality of food.

These birds would eat

anything eatable

to stay alive.

It is a matter of life and death when the cold comes with snow.


But they survive and it is a pleasure to see
their beautiful plumage
what gives them protection
from the cold.



And
Re joys! The Sun gets up every morning
a little earlier
moving also in a little different
position:
little higher
and so is warmer.
The days are longer
and the most difficult times
will come to an end
with the month of January.

************************************

I feed the birds since many years
on my yard or
anywhere like here
where they come to ask for food.
For me it is a great pleasure
to see how they grasp in hunger
and also I enjoy the beauty of their
plumage and the look of the
eyes with full of innocence
and perhaps with gratitude.
Remember:
there is hunger in the winter:
feed the hungry!
