what is the meaning of bird sanctuary?
113882
An animal sanctuary is a place where animals can come to live and be protected for the rest of their lives. In these respects a sanctuary is different to an animal shelter although, sometimes, the characteristics of a sanctuary and those of a shelter may be found in different areas of the same establishment (for instance where some of the animals may be in residence temporarily until a good home is found and other animals may be permanent residents). A sanctuary is intended to be a safe haven, where the animals receive the best care possible. Animals are not bought, sold, traded, or mistreated in any way. They are given every opportunity to behave naturally in a protecting environment.\n\nWhat separates a sanctuary from all other institutions is the idea that the residents come first. In a sanctuary, every action is scrutinized for any trace of human benefit at the expense of nonhuman residents. Sanctuaries act on behalf of the animals, and the caregivers work under the notion that all animals in the sanctuary, human and nonhuman, are of equal importance.\n\nA sanctuary is not open to the public in the sense that the public is allowed unescorted access to any part of the facility. A sanctuary does not allow any activity that would place the animals in an unduly stressful situation. A sanctuary does not allow medical experiments on the animals.\n\nOne of the most important missions of sanctuaries beyond caring for the animals is educating others. The ultimate goal of a sanctuary is to change the way that humans think of and treat nonhuman animals.

Lots of animals are habitual, meaning they will return to the same spots for mating, nesting, etc.  Birds are particularly good at it, just look at their migratory patterns, they will usually make the same pit stops along the way.  Chances are they are the same geese, and they have picked that spot to be their love nest.  aww...  If it's a good spot and other geese know about it, you might see another couple in the future, who knows?

As a bird, they have more freedom and less prey. Being a bird, you can enjoy the wind in your face and the changing atmospheres where as being a fish is a constant atmosphere, surely they get sick of it!

Oh Bird of paper!\nEagle of the children.\nWith the pens of letters,\nwithout a dove\nand without nest.\n\nThe hands still wet of mystery\nthey create to you in a cold\nto grow dark of autumn, when they die\nthe birds and the noise\nof rain it makes us love the lamp,\nthe heart and the book.\n\nYou are born to live minutes\nin the fragile castle\nof naipes that rises trembly\nas the stem of an iris.\nand you meditate there blinds and without wings\nthat you could have been\nthe grotesco athlete who smiles\nhanged person by a thread,\nthe quiet boat without rowers nor sails,\nthe lírico\nghost ship of the miedoso insect,\nor the sad donkey\nthat they escarnecen, making it the Pegaso,\nthe blowings of the children.\n\nBut in the middle of your meditation\ndrops of humorismo go.\nDone with the crust of science\nyou ***reflx mng yourself of Destino,\nand outcries: "White Flower never dies,\nnor Luisito dies.\nThe morning is eternal, is eternal\nthe source of the dew "\n\nAnd although you do not believe in anything you say this,\nthe children do not find out\nof which there is shade behind stars\nand it shades in your castle.\n\nIn the middle of the table, when collapsing\nyour blue mansion, you have seen\nthat the milano watches to you anxiously:\n"new born.\na foam pomp on the water\nof the alive suffering "\n\nAnd you go to his luminous lips\nwhile the children laugh,\nand the papas shut up, do not awake\nthe neighboring pains.\n\nThus bird clown you disappear\nin order to be born elsewhere.\nThus bird esfinge gives your soul\nof bird fénix to the limb.

Birds have ears, however they do not stick out like ours. Birds will die anywhere. If they all went somewhere special there would be an enormous pile of dead birds somewhere and I have not yet heard of "Dead Bird Mountain".

I am not certain what you mean, but if you are asking about their breeding and nesting details, Here goes:\n\nWhoopers usually build a nest in marshes or shallow ponds, in about 25 cm of water (the flightless chicks can swim to escape predators) and most often in relatively dense stands of bulrush. \n\nA pair usually has two eggs. Both eggs generally hatch, but if both eggs are left in the nest, usually only one chick survives. The reason for this may be related to a food shortage, particularly when wet areas begin to dry out and terrestrial predators, such as the gray wolf, are able to penetrate the cranes' nesting marshes.\n\nThe incubation period is 29� 30 days, and both parents share the task of incubating the eggs in the nest. Few eggs are lost to predators thanks, in part, to the vigil of the adult birds. The reddish orange young hatch during the last week in May or the first week in June. From then on, the parents are kept busy feeding their chicks. During the summer, the cranes rarely fly. Some birds may be incapable of flight during short periods due to the molt of major wing feathers.\n\nFamily groups frequent the shallows of small ponds and marshes, where the adults perhaps find larval forms of insects such as dragonflies, damselflies, and mayflies, and also snails, small clams, water beetles, leeches, frogs, and small fish to feed their young. When the parent birds kill larger prey, such as snakes, mice, small birds, ducklings, and even birds up to the size of half-grown bitterns, they share the spoils of these hunts with their young.\n\nBy the end of September or early October the young birds are ready to try their wings on the 4000 km migration to the Texas winter range. On the way south, the birds spend one to five weeks feeding in their staging (stopover) areas in Saskatchewan. In these areas, undisturbed whoopers may spend the entire one- to five-week staging period on the same quarter or half-section of land. Here the birds fatten up on waste barley and wheat in stubble fields, and roost during the night in nearby wetlands.

A place where the only sounds are the rustling of the trees and the twittering of the birds. There is a lake in front of me and I can see the reflection of the sun and the clouds and the sky in it. Black and white swans glide across the lake gracefully while wild deer takes a drink from the crystal clear water. A sparrow flies overhead and lands in a near by tree where a small brown nest of baby birds sits. I can smell the earth and the trees, a calming smell. The trees sway back and forth gently in the breeze and the birds fly back and forth from tree to tree, as if visiting their friends. In the lake small bubbles form on top of the water and as I look closer I see that there are tiny fish and tadpoles swimming among the reeds. I take off my shoes and walk through the cool, refreshing water. The fish brush against my legs and then swim away. It starts to rain and I open my mouth to catch some droplets on my tongue. \nI look around at all the animals as they all take cover in the forest.\nI am happy that I have my own place of complete calm and serenity.
