Bourdain and the others were suffering, afraid, tired, likely overwhelmed by painful anxiety, and felt like they couldn`t take it anymore. It hurts in ways "normal" people can`t imagine. I`ve set a schedule for myself to do at least this one thing every morning at the break of dawn...I take food out for a squirrel and the birds and make sure they have clean water. When I call to them several of them answer like the Cardinal pair who nest here, a woodpecker, and a little Titmouse pair. I`m slowly getting to know a pair of Doves who are beginning to trust me too. A raccoon comes in the evening if I call him. I helped a bunny during the extreme heat and drought last year, dug a puddle for the frogs who put their eggs in Bunny`s water bowl, and fed a Raccoon who was eating the bird seeds. Bunny trusts me and put her nest of babies in my vegetable garden this year. I discovered this yesterday. Ha! I`ve planted over 15 fruit trees this year...enough to share and help the wildlife when I become unable. I plan to root 50 cuttings to give away at a small local church that has a food pantry that helps me. These things are how I created purpose in my life. I was homeless before and had nothing so I enjoy helping these animals here, being friends with them, and feeling needed instead of worthless.

@artglass00 I was watering my peas and okra yesterday and started seeing glimpses of "rats" scurrying around. I was spraying water on the baby bunnies. Ha! I finally saw one. They`re eating leaves on some of the peas but I`m not gonna bother them. They need to eat and get healthy and the peas are so thick the big owls around here can`t see them. Their mom knew they`d be safe there. I planted her plenty of peas around all the fruit trees and along the blackberry patch. Their leaves (various black eyed pea varieties) can be up to 40% protein and are considered an overlooked superfood. I let her eat from my garden last year because it didn`t rain for nearly six months and there was nothing else for her to eat so she knew the babies would be in the perfect spot there and the owls wouldn`t come around with me out there all the time. I had noticed her hanging around close to the garden but had no idea she had a nest in there.

@artglass00 I just looked around in the pea patch and saw two of the little bunnies. They`re about 5 inches long but very plump and healthy and very nervous too. When I would talk to them they`d hop around and move the peas so that`s how I spotted them. I noticed the plants moving when I watered them for the past several days and thought it was toads in there because I saw one recently. I`m gonna have to put a bowl of water under the peas for them tonight. It has been HOT in Louisiana lately and it`s about to get even hotter. If I would have known about this I would have bought some rabbit food for babies.

@salutsoleil3682 Doves, Cardinals and Titmouse birds mate for life. The Titmouse babies help their parents take care of the next nest of babies and Cardinal males will often feed orphaned babies of other birds. Most people don`t know how special and intelligent these animals are plus they use language. A Dove will often stop eating if its mate dies and starve to death. That`s one of the reasons the Mourning Dove was named that.

@impromptumelody I saw Bunny nursing her babies earlier. She knows I know they`re in there now so she stopped being sneaky about it. She heard me talking to them a couple of times and I left a water bowl in there. One of them came out into the yard a couple of feet yesterday.

@cheryllovestoread I was unknowingly chat friends on Yahoo Messenger with J. K. Rowling in 2000 while going through severe depression and she told me to go outside at dawn and listen to the birds to get better and start healing. I could no longer talk to her after she hit a certain level of fame and kept getting messages from her "publicist" and that`s when she finally explained who she was. I wish I could thank her for saving my life and share my animal and bird pictures with her.

@valeriekehrt7566 I planted vining Red Ripper Peas under every fruit tree and row of okra and sunflowers for the bunnies this year. They keep eating them but the vines grow back and bloom again so it works well plus their roots fix nitrogen in the soil which improves it and feeds my plants. The leaves are very high in protein so it`s great for them. We can eat them too cooked.
