Turtle dove's way of parenting

At home in the mining area, I live on the fifth floor.

There is a pigeon cage made of wooden boxes on the flower stand outside my north house window. I remember when I was a child, my son went back to his hometown in the summer vacation and met his uncle's homing pigeon. When he came back from his hometown, his son must bring back two pigeons. He couldn't help but refit a big pigeon cage on the flower stand outside the window. Soon, my son couldn't bear to let good homing pigeons live in this small world and let them soar in the sky. Pigeons have passed Changfeng, and there is no pigeon cage here.

I don't know when it started, two uninvited guests moved into the pigeon coop outside the window-a pair of turtledoves. They wear taupe coats, with some less bright patterns on their wings and tails, and a circle of feathers with black and white spots around their necks, just like wearing a scarf. They cooed from time to time, as if discussing the construction of a new home. Pigeon cages modified from wooden boxes are obviously too big for them. They are busy collecting firewood and grass. They build a nest in the cage, where their two babies are born-they are going to be parents. Since then, I have to stand at the window from time to time and watch the happy life of the couple through the glass, so I have the honor to watch the young couple's parenting.

Poverty inherits the wind! Since laying eggs, the young couple are no longer a couple-they take turns incubating eggs in the nest. Finally, the little turtledove hatched, and the task of their little husband and wife became heavier. The weather in early spring is still very cold, and there is always a spotted owl in the nest, guarding two small spotted owls under his body; The other one went out for food and came back to feed the hungry little guy. ...

The little turtledove is getting bigger and bigger, and its appetite is getting better and better. On warm days, the parents of spotted owls will fly out, hoping to find more food. Little turtledove is chubby and really likes people! But the couple are getting thinner and thinner. ...

Finally one day, the husband and wife went out and never came back. One day, they disappeared. The two little turtledoves seemed to be in a hurry and began to look around in their self-righteous square cages. The next day, they didn't come back. The little turtledove was hungry and began to flutter in the cage. ...

Did they encounter misfortune on the way to find food, or did they leave quietly? I was thinking about it, too.

On the third day, the little turtledoves obviously lost weight. They seemed to understand that there was no ready-made food in the future. They began to try to fly: take off and fall; Take off, land ... and then start trying to get out of the pigeon cage and wander on the windowsill and flower stand. Finally, in the afternoon sun, they flew up, left the pigeon cage and went to find their own life. ...

For several days, when I saw the empty pigeon cage outside the window, my heart was in a mess. ...

The mid-term exam is coming, so busy that I don't have time to look out of the window for half a day. Suddenly one day, I seemed to hear a familiar cry. Rushed to the window, ah, deja vu, and began to repeat yesterday's story. ...

Suddenly, I understood: both husband and wife left, not killed or overwhelmed, but wanted their children to learn to stand on their own feet-what smart parents!

Birds are still like this. As parents, shouldn't we learn from it?
