Wren Lesson


As I sat outside this morning I saw a small group of Wrens. It took me a while to realize it was the baby Wrens and a parent flying around together. Is this how the parents teach their babies how to find food? There didn't seem to be any instruction, simply the parents flying from log to log pecking at whatever was there. The chicks were doing the same. I was struck by the power of this form of teaching. Not saying but doing. Today, I will be paying attention to times when I am telling someone what to and my words do not match up with my actions.
