Mothers’ great advantage

The true meaning of parenthood is personified when two pigeons are seen alternating care for the eggs, and feeding their little ones until they are able to fly. I recently noticed two birds who chose thin metal wires that cannot be bent to build their nest. They chose soft wooden tweaks to build the nest and made it in a round shape

Two days later, the female pigeon laid the eggs. When strong winds came around, the pigeon did not leave its nest, and that in order to protect its young. Then when the winds calmed down, the mother left briefly before returning while carrying food in its beak to feed them.

In order to teach her young how to fly though they are still captive to their nest, the mother kept her beak at a distance to force the young to reach for the food while they flap their wings. So it was a lesson for feeding and flying at the same time. That is true motherhood that never ends for all Almighty Allah’s creation.

Sometimes the mother gives her young some selfconfidence, so she flies and leaves them for minutes, in order for them to develop the courage to get out of the nest. They take a few steps outside, then return back to the nest scared.

The mother returns, so the young hide under her wings to receive security and food. They stay that way for few a weeks until they grow old enough to become self-dependent and fly into the empty space, completing the cycle of life by building their own nests.

Motherhood is found in all of the creations of Allah Almighty. A mother is a never-ending river of endless passion and giving for her young, and to protect them until the very last breath of her life. That is the great advantage Allah Almighty gave to every mother.
