Why the birds, Lori?
That's a fair question. I really hope you're not afraid of birds. I know many people are. If you are....sorry! Scroll away fast!
A dear friend of mine once gave me a set of oracle cards that were all different birds. I had never given much thought to birds, honestly, and I had never owned a set of oracle or tarot cards. This deck has taught me a lot!
There are so many types of birds and they have wildly different appearances, behaviors, needs, etc. Ya know....kinda like humans!
If someone said, "That yellow warbler needs to dye its feathers pink and act more like a proper roseate spoonbill," I think most people would furrow their brow and correct that very misguided person.
Why should humans be treated any differently?
