A battle for top spot.
At times, the acts in nature are so similar to our human lives.
I heard the distinctive sounds of quarreling crows and popped outside to see what was going on.
It is said that once a person reaches the top spot, then all of the guns will be turned upon the person. I was reminded about this by watching the actions of the Pied Crows in this story today. The main guy landed at the flimsy top of this big tree, and he had a battle to stay up in the wind. So not only was nature attacking him om on his precarious seat, but some comrades also decided to challenge him.
Come and watch the battle for him to stay up there.
One at the top and another crow a bit lower down.
So, the lower one tried to dislodge the top one, but he ducked under it.
These are the areas where Pied Crows (Corvus albus) can be found.
Distribution and habitat
This species, Africa's most widespread member of the genus Corvus, occurs from sub-Saharan Africa, specifically Nigeria, Ghana, Senegal, Sudan, Somalia, Eritrea, Zambia, Botswana, Mozambique and Zimbabwe, south to the Cape of Good Hope and on the large island of Madagascar, the Comoros Islands, Aldabra, Assumption Island, Cosmoledo, Astove Island, Zanzibar, Pemba, and Fernando Po. It inhabits mainly open country with villages and towns nearby. It does not occur in the equatorial rainforest region. It is rarely seen very far from human habitation, though it is not as tied to the urban way of life as the house crow (Corvus splendens) of Asia and may be encountered far from human habitation in Eritrea.
The wind also tried to dislodge the crow.
In the meantime, he watched another screaming crow coming in.
So, the challenge was on, and our hero jumped into battle with the challenger.
Oops! he only just managed to land back on the top.
And finally, having proven his staying power, he released his grip and opened his wings for the wind to carry him away.
Battles, survival, lifestyles, and so many other humanism's can also be found in nature. The weavers for instance taught early mankind how to build woven huts and the swallows taught how to cover the walls of the huts with mud. So many other lessons were gathered from nature over time and even a dragonfly's flight abilities were used to design the helicopter.
So, nature is an integral part of us, and it has to be protected for our children's children to also enjoy the Creator's works.
Such should be life.
I hope you enjoyed the pictures and the story.

Everyone is fighting for a place in the sun :)
No need to fight, as the sun shines on everyone. Some want the sun to shine only on them.
Fight a healthy fight based on merit, because many people fight with cunning, especially if they have power
Merit has been thrown out of the window, as nowadays it is all about control and profit !LOL

Another lesson that nature gives us is teamwork, I like to look at the behavior of bees or ants, we should learn from that cooperation and planning to create more sustainable societies, some times the answer to many problems are so simple but yet so complicated at the same time
Since the birth of the internet, the world has changed drastically, in that it has advanced the struggle for popularity. There is no way that any bee or ant would think that they are more popular than their fellow workers. The old enemy called greed also became enhanced, trapping many with its false promises of enrichment and isolation has become the norm. So, the lessons in nature are ignored and the bedrock of families are starting to be wrecked.

BEER.Hey @skiptvads, here is a little bit of
BEERfrom @papilloncharity for you. Enjoy it!Do you want to win SOME BEER together with your friends and draw the
BEERKING.This is the system of nature. By killing something, it fills its stomach with something else. Just like a lion kills a deer, only then can it survive. This is the system of the world and it will continue to do so.
Totally agreed, as nothing gets wasted in nature. I anything dies, the raptors eat it, and even the insects eat the last little bits. It is called self-preservation. !LOL
