We thank you your participation in this Literary Adventure.
Please feel free to contact us if you have any question.

Enjoy.

Recently a team of bird researchers is trying to teach a group of young ibis birds a migratory route from central Europe to Spain. The “mothers”, Katharina Huchler and Helena Wehner, use a small and ultralight plane to teach them. They travel in front of the birds; the birds follow them.

This is very funny, and it shows that taking care of nature is clearly not a boring activity and it can be an adventure.   

The following photo, with a fern, remembers us that even if the birds learn the new route, there should be a habitat where they will be able to live, at the destiny. Certainly, that new habitat must include plants, with their natural beauty.

Enjoy.
