The Dhaka Times Desk Today there is a story of a bird sacrificing its life for its child. A phenomenon taken from the life of birds. That bird species is called Sandgrouse.
These birds live in the Sahara desert of Africa, sometimes in the Kalahari desert. There the sky is always clear, cloudless and rugged. It rains in that area after many days. It means that you can understand how hot it is.
Sometimes there is a prolonged flow of lu hawa (i.e. hot air that irritates the skin). Again, due to lack of rain, water is not available anywhere. A mother sandgrouse needs water when she lays her eggs and when the eggs hatch. However, the mother sandgrouse has to cover the chicks with her two wings to protect them from predators and the intense sun.
Meanwhile, father sandgrouse birds fly in flocks in search of water bodies. Many father sandgrouses are sometimes killed in the battle with the hawks on this long journey. However, the few father sandgrouses that survive are content to go near water and drink the water themselves first. Then fill their feathers with water for the chicks and start flying!
That extra heavy body father carries at least 60 miles! When the father brings water, the little chicks start drinking water by putting their mouths inside the feathers of the father's chest.
Thus mother and father sandgrouse happily perform the difficult task of feeding the chicks for two months after birth. The reason is that their eyes widen to see the chicks growing up before their eyes.
But this whole process is not very easy by any means. It is also very time consuming. Goss hawks, which mainly prey on these sandgrouses, then come and attack the sandgrouses. They started knocking. Their bodies are torn apart!
Still, the father sandgrouse kept filling his feathers with water, risking his life again and again. The more water you can take, the better. On the other hand, the group of hunters is sitting in search of prey. Knowing that death is certain, parents are willing to sacrifice their lives only for the purpose of the child's healthy growth!
Every day many sandgrouses die fetching this water, and with it their offspring and even their families. Regardless of that, every day flocks of sandgrouse fathers reach far to fetch water. These types of small examples are repeatedly pointed out that the comparison of parents is only parents!
What those birds do for their chicks, how many times more do humans do for their children. There is joy, satisfaction and other kinds of happiness in doing this.
To this day, we don't seem to have found a mother who eats a delicious meal herself first, without thinking about her children. But if you do a little test and see that the food is very good. He left his own share for his children. Not only own children, family; People sometimes do a lot for neighbors, friends, and even unknown strangers.
