This site isn’t all about making you feel guilty, or scaring you to death about picking up trash. Okay, I admit, some of it is, but that’s not all it’s about. It’s about teaching you about nature; The wonderful world around you. Today we are learning about instincts.

Instincts is what is knowing what to do without thinking. For example, the minute you came out of your mother’s womb, you knew to breath.  Wait, you say you didn’t? Well I don’t think you to say to yourself, “Breath in, breath out. Breath in, breath out.” did you? Exactly my point. you knew what to do right away. That is instinct.

Most animals have instincts (besides breathing). One example is the box jellyfish. I’ll put them in my website later. Anyway, the box jellyfish loves shrimp. Even though it has no brain, it has twenty four eyes that it somehow processes through. And if it sees something good, it propels toward it at about twelve miles per hour. And at night, it sinks toward the bottom of the beach to avoid it’s deadly predator. The sea turtle.

The sea turtle you say? that’s right; The sea turtle. its hard armor protects it from the box jellyfish’s sting. And the sea turtle knows that it can eat it because of, you know it, instinct. And the sea turtle also uses instinct to know where to go when it hatches in the sand; towards the ocean. It also knows how to swim and what food to eat. Isn’t instinct amazing? Well that was today’s lesson. So, go places, see things, and MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

This experience, has only happened to me once and I hope it never will again. Birds sometimes fly into glass windows seeing the reflection of outside or seeing a large open space inside; This can seriously injure and even kill the bird. One day, I saw either an eastern meadowlark, or yellow warbler (I don’t know which) run into the glass five times in a row!  I am surprised that the poor birdie didn’t die then and there; And this was full force flying power. Eventually, he found out he wasn’t getting in and flew of into his nest (his nest was about five feet away). I’m glad he found out then and there because he could have died. Imagine this. You are a little bird flying twenty to thirty miles per hour trying to escape this monstrous hawk and all of the sudden you run into seriously thick. You might of broken a wing, damaged your skull, knocked yourself out, or even killed yourself. Has that given you an idea of how dangerous we have made it for these birds? well that’s only the beginning. be sure to keep our little friends in mind. Well that was today’s lesson. So, go places, see things, and MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
