Ooo! 'te you are so correct about the mama birds.
You know last summer, I was driving by down route 322 down Black Horse Pike and there was a column of ducks crossing the street. There was a mama duck, and 6 or so baby ducks and the papa duck was behind the line. Intawn, there was a big truck that was driving so fast--and ran over the center of the line!!
The truck killed the baby ducklings except for one or two; the papa duck was also killed as he did not leave the ducklings at all.
I remember I stopped my car and walked to the center of the street to ask the drivers to let the mama duck and her surviving 2 ducklings cross the road.
Aguy, Ate Belle, ang Mama duck..nang hilak intawn. She went to the bodies of her baby ducklings and did not leave them.
She was crying intawn, squawking at me and she covered the babies' bodies with her wings. She even went to the body of her mate, the papa duck. She stayed with the babies and did not leave. So i left her there with them.
When I drove back the same way several hours later, I found that the mama duck and her other ducklings were also killed by oncoming drivers.
The mama duck did not leave the bodies of her babies, uy. I cried baya when I passed their bodies.
The love of a mother to her babies is paramount jud. Imagine, that mama duck was probably sitting on top of her babies when they were still but little eggs. Keeping them warm until they finally hatched and called out to their mommy. Intawn gi ligsan ra sila.
