Ecology and Humanism

Author: Dr. James R. Castle

It turns out that a parrot, whose name Lorita, came to our ecological center in San Carlos. It was part of a group of peers who had seized, in good time, the guards of the League of Monteverde. They cared, and were prepared for release, a goal that was achieved. But Lorita come without its tail, which is the rudder of the birds, why was awkward to fly.

She was with her friends discouraged, do all sorts of aerial acrobatics and fly increasingly longer distances from one tree to another and circling above the forest canopy with loud cries. His clumsiness allowed costs to fly a few yards and apenitas hold of a branch. As a consolation, was associated with Periquín, young parakeet then abandoned, as they also took the road to heaven.

To be without company, began leaning on our house, with many costs are passed from one bush to one of the windows in the kitchen, which is on the second floor. All this to seek partnerships with other living things, need gregarious instinct in animals, as happens to be human. The spoken Chinese began offering home-cooked food and to not feel alone, ate something and flew to a nearby tree. That was several months and had concerns that the character we saw off, awkward to fly and with a very limited life.

Suddenly, a metamorphosis began to manifest in Lorita, the rectrices he began to grow and its ability to maneuver in flight as well, but the most amazing, his personality changed dramatically, showing more strength and fullness of their temperament, dignity and joy. Of course, now comes the passive scrubbed the kitchen, now asks, demands, not like before, with sad eyes and a plaintive cries punctuated and expect to be fed.

In the morning, from the guava tree in sleeping, out to do their morning exercise routines, flying between and above the trees, making several turns into the forest. The problem is that a few surprise from the kitchen past at full speed (something like the Blue Angels ), entering through a window and out the other, and take off because he gets out. Of course, their shrill cries of joy will leave you half deaf. At the end, landing a ration of food demand and properly low to terminate a tortilla or cheese, then with the full crop stays a while disposing of what is chuncho.

How wonderful it is to see a being that evolved from the disability to utilize their training in psychosomatic and developing autonomy. Lorita developments was the work of their desires and need to fly, to be a parrot in its full expression. In life there are examples of natural impulses, misunderstood by us, to regain the physical and vital to fulfilling the mission for which it was born, within each species. These impulses and anxieties for expressing individual potential are also in every human being, but you need to have a rudder (but not in the tail and less than silicon) and a personal flight plan to achieve it.
