Birds


My favorites animals are the birds, I like them pretty much because birds can fly, jump and sing at the same time. The most of them have beautiful wings, wonderful colors and little feet and beack. 
They eat seeds, fruits, nectar, plants and carrion. Many species of birds migrate an take advantage of seasonal differences in temperature in the world.
Birds communicate principally using visual and auditive signals. During the breeding season they have  a lot of rituals, some of them are very sophisticated, like the courtship of the male to the female, or construction of nests to have eggs.
The birds live and breed in  terrestrial habitats and are present in all continents, including the Antarctic territory.
I don't like birds in cages and I don't like to eat them, I like to see them in the nature and free.

Tell me your opinion



What is your opinion about legalizing abortion in some cases?

I guess that every woman is able to decide what to do with her body in all the cases, many people think that not in every situation a woman can abort but I think that if a men can decide what to do before conception so do woman. And all the beliefs about an embrion's life are just beliefs... and the laws can't impose this beliefs to the people.


What is your opinion about violence on television? 

Violence in television is sometimes fiction and sometimes part of real life.. I don't like violence and i don't believe that people can see fiction violence because is not necessary and the government can't improve that to be more and more expanded in the mass media and therefore in the world. And if the violence showed in television is real, it must be about an important thing and to communicate a serious message not to play with it.


What's your opinion about cloning?

I think that the science used by humans can't  manipulate so hardly nature propeties
like ADN I think the same about genetically modified plants because a thing that nature take eras in construct a men can't change so easily. The wisdom of nature is the reason because we exist and the human science can't mix lettuces with scorpions adn, or modify human adn, etc..


What is your opinion about legalizing marijuana? 

I know that marijuana medically not toxic or harmful to the body or mind used moderately, and is less danger than alcohol or cigarettes by example. I think that it would be legalize because any person can choose if smoke it or not, and drugs like alcohol in excess are too much dangerous.
