Let them be

Just a little something very beautiful I feel…. These plants in the balcony, even if Basil and curry leaves, are merely decoration for most of us humans…. but they’re probably food for these pigeons…
For a couple of years, like most of us, I shooed these birds away when they cane near our plants. But then I realised, why is it such a big deal if they eat a few leaves , or even a full plant, for that matter? We’ve taken away so much from Nature already, can’t we allow them a few leaves from plants that WE THINK WE grow?
