I have the greatest admiration for any single mom or dad.  Raising children with two parents is difficult.  Raising children alone?  Anyone doing this deserves all our support.

                                      Take Mama Bird, for instance.

Remember those babies in the boot from my photo last weekend?  Unformed little critters who barely resembled birds?  Now look.  One week later and ready for solid food.  And just as I was feeling sorry for Mama Bird and all the work this single parent had ahead of her. . .

Dads everywhere, take notice.  Even birds understand that children are everybody’s responsibility.  With Father’s Day right around the corner, it’s great to see Daddy Bird earning his title and his keep.  What a role model.
