Songbirds ************* when songbirds mate they look at each other in the eye and then kiss and that's it- everybody knows the rules or eternal love and they strive all their lives to keep it together the commitment begins when the barganers agree and they know what it means without joining emotional breakdowns binge drinking chocolate or dope they fly together' they eat together they roost together theyy nest together they raise their babies together they warn each other about danger and difficulties they alert each other about beauty and opportunity they dont go humping other birds or fly east with some swan to see if that's how it flows bu-irds know what a deal is birds know what a partnership is birds don't force their mates to spend holidays with parents or perform commitment rituals to impress their friends there is day - and is night there are easy times -there are hard times there are no anniversaries or ritualistic crap not much team generated drama- save all your energy for dealing with the outside world together so birds make it on maybe coloured feathers and a fetching tune but for the most part just on their personalities and a genuine sense of regard sharing everything forever with their mates until death takes the team down birds don't own anything nor do they aspire to dominate just to fit in and be happy in nature chaos life & try to happy together in spite of the weather and the eternal predators always waiting for a flying protein meal if the team slips up life is hard enough without bitching about it Birds free will choose mates by compliance and virtue not guilt and entitlement and they appreciate their mates and they stick by their mates and they sing and dally and enjoy the same world that we do -at the same time we do thats love as far as they are concerned maybe there's more to it than that and if there is birds are decent enough to file that under " private life " and that must be a very special place because birds boink and poop in public everyday
