🦅 Which kind of bird are you?

I see birds as a mirror for our expression and communication style. I spent a lot of time with coots the last years and by learning about them, I also learnt about my shadow:

- Quietly floating & attacking out of seemingly nowhere
- Loud but only when necessary
- Shielded to keep people at bay and hide vulnerability
- Fiercely territorial

I unfortunately move a little bit away from the lake and don’t see them as much, but I am now realizing that have integrated a few aspects:

- The shield is gone and I had to adjust to being seen and vulnerable
- I no longer feel the need to use my word as grenades

But the girl is still territorial and could be louder.

What’s your favorite bird?
