The Human Nature of Birds

Three things the Great Blue Heron has in common with the human race:

1) They are most vocal during the breeding season, but will call at other times of the year if disturbed

2) Once they find a pond, as long as they know they can get a good meal they will keep returning. It is said that, given free reign, one can clean out a small pond (read fridge) in a matter of days, and

3) Herons don't go around with their necks stuck out. They fly with their heads tucked between their shoulder blades.
