She could have spread her wings…. could have run away…. and saved yourself.
But she didn’t. She didn’t even try. It stayed right there… next to the most valuable thing it had.. 💔
In birds, this instinct is deeply rooted in their biology. The prolactin hormone, responsible for incubation behavior, shoots into the brain during the breeding season. This substance not only drives them to build nests and warm their eggs but also to defend them, even in the face of imminent danger.
They don’t feel love as we humans understand, but they feel urgency, duty, and something deeper: the genetic programming to protect the future of their species, even if it means facing death.
This little body, still among the ashes, isn’t just a bird’s.
It’s a mother’s.
An anonymous heroine of nature who died doing the only thing she knew was to take care of the most valuable thing she had.
