This morning I was having coffee lamenting that my hummingbird feeders were quiet. No chirping and humming of the flock who normally attend my feeders. Summer is passing and they are migrating I thought. Then I heard them, chirping and coming in to feed, slowly at first. I looked around and realized my hummingbird tree is full of resting hummingbirds. They began to fly around my head, wishing me the best of the day, I have the distinct feeling they are saying goodbye for now!

Not sure if this was the thread where we were talking a out our dogs and cats waiting for us to come home....anyway, our dog was comfortably sleeping on the couch when I notice him pop his head up and stare off into nothing. After about 5 secs he gets up and goes to the front door. A minute later my wife calls and says that she is about 15 minutes from home so I should put the oven on to warm up the pizza that she is bringing home.
Our dog knew that she was on her way home :)
But I knew it too as soon as he woke up and went to the door :)
Yeah, Patient, it's really nice when our pets show us that kind of bond with us. :)Quote:

I had a cat for 14 years and she knew when I was coming home as well. Most people think cats are not as loyal as dogs, are more attached to their surroundings than their owners and won't listen to what you are saying.
Well, mine did. She used to play catch with me when she was young, she used to snuggle up to me when I was sad and one day my father was doing some gardening for me while I was at work. As always she'd joined him, played with him (jumped on the shovel etc) when suddenly she ran into the house and stood on the windowsill in the kitchen which is at the front. My father was wondering what had got into her and followed her, looked outside with her but saw nothing. But then he saw my car coming around the corner and was bewildered that she had known I was coming home even before she could see me. :)
She passed on over 10 years ago, but I still have very fond memories of her and the bond we shared. :)
I think there was a thread some years ago focusing on Rupert Sheldrake's book "Dogs Who Know When Their Masters are Coming Home", and his work on morphic fields. The Mods might be able to find it.

I just saw this post. So BEAUTIFUL!Quote:

When I was about 4 years old I was at a relatives' farm. I was not being watched closely and I heard the call for two horses to come into their pen area. One horse was lingering and my untrained 4 yo self thought I would be helpful and push the horse at his hind quarters. He promptly kicked me high and low in the field. I was black and blue, no broken bones and lost my dimes out of my penny loafers. lol.
This is when I became afraid of horses. As beautiful as they are I have yet to overcome this. The horses I have ridden since have either thrown me off or just stood still.
This beautiful story is touching my heart and gave me the impetus to sit with a horse or two and meditate and overcome my fear.
Become one with them. I see a way now to face this fear. Thank you.
Another beautiful story, raregem, thank you for sharing it and finding inspiration for a way to heal your fear. Horses are big and can be frightening, I've been there but have always been able to pick myself up and go back to them.
I can do this because I know they startle easily and can react quickly but I have never found them to be mean spirited, just frightened or startled.
I really do love your idea of meditating with them, I see this as a good road to take :heart:
Such a great feline companion

"Senior Cat Loves These Little Girls More Than Anything
This woman rescued a cat when she was in college, but had no idea her future daughters would love him SO much ❤️"
Tabby was found in the hay shed during a very cold winter night, barely alive, an abandoned kitten.
After being fed and kept warm he became used to people and visited our home every evening. He has something to eat and follows you around and likes watching movies and documentaries sometimes.
This photo was taken while he watched a King Kong movie with amplifiers and all. I thought the noise would frighten him, but instead he stayed for about half an hour enticed by the sound and action.

It's been a while but I feel another reminder is in order.
All animals are magical.
Five parrots removed from public view after swearing at customers at popular Lincolnshire attraction
https://i2-prod.lincolnshirelive.co....ging-opera.jpg
The chief executive of Lincolnshire Wildlife Park had to temporarily remove five newly adopted parrots from public view after they started swearing at the customers.
He said: “For the last 25 years, we have always taken in parrots that have sometimes had a bit of blue language and we have really got used to that.
“Every now and then you’ll get one that swears and it’s always funny. We always find it very comical when they do swear at you.
“But, just by coincidence, we took in five in the same week and because they were all quarantined together it meant that one room was just full of swearing birds.
“The more they swear the more you usually laugh which then triggers them to swear again.
“But when you get four or five together that have learnt the swearing and naturally learnt the laughing so when one swears, one laughs and before you know it just got to be like an old working men’s’ club scenario where they are all just swearing and laughing.”
The birds were soon put out on display – but it didn’t take long before the swearing resumed.
Mr Nichols, who admits it is rather funny when the birds swear, said: “Literally within 20 minutes of being in the introductory we were told that they had sworn at a customer and for the next group of people, all sorts of obscenities came out.
“And for one of our young girls they really gave her some abuse.
“We found it highly amusing and the customers were fine – they were no problem at all.
“But we worried because we had a weekend coming up and children coming.”
Despite wanting to give people a laugh during some incredibly worrying times with coronavirus, a decision was made to put the birds where they couldn’t be heard before children arrived.
Mr Nichols said: “We put them in an off-shore enclosure with the intention that hopefully they will start learning the other parrot’s noise that are around.
“They are African grey parrots and they are very, very good at learning vocalisations from all sorts of noises.
“What we will do now is release them out but in separate areas so at least if they do swear it is not as bad as three or four of them all blasting it out at once.”
