For many, birds represent freedom and spirituality since they are
created to be free. Although this may be true for people as well,
we are of course not able to be as truly free as our winged
friends. Looking out of his office window and seeing the birds
flying, emphasising his confinement indoors and the unnecessary
complexities of life in general, the author regrets his lost
freedom. Life tends to be over-complicated and many would advocate
following a simpler life. Birds, on the other hand, live the life
they are destined for and this book shows how a common love of
birds bridges cultures and distance. The Birds are our Friends is a
wonderful and enlightening collection of essential information,
curiosities, myths and folklore of birds and people. The author has
discovered the role that birds play in people's imagination, and
their significance for various cultures. People's accounts of birds
give an insight to themselves - what they strive for, what they are
afraid of and what they find important. Some birds predict the
weather and construct unbelievably sophisticated nests or engage in
elegant mating rituals. The author provides new insights on these
facts and myths which confound some widely-held assumptions of
their activities. Yessengali has a deeply personal connection and
relationship with some birds. His fondest memories from childhood
or young adulthood are associated with cuckoos, storks, and other
birds that remind him of love and friendship. He hopes that these
stories will interest readers, remind them of their spirituality
and also evoke fine memories. In any event, it is a book that
illuminates the world of birds from a slightly different viewpoint.
