We have to learn many things from birds and we should grow with positive values. Many birds are vegetarian too and love to eat fruits and nuts. Many birds are sweet singers. Nightangle sings sweetly. Cuckoo's voice is vwet sweet. You have great visionary to judge upon birds. Your effort of penning this poem is highly appreciated.

Robbin birds are very cautious in taking care of their children. A Robin child waits for parents. A Child robin is fed by both father ad mother. In absence of mother, father of child takes care of his or her. The family of Robin bird is tied up with deep love. All members love each other and cooperate. When we look into the birds's kingdom we frequently feel the tenderness.

Birds have culture like human beings. Birds motivate mind of poet. Many ornithologist study on them. Birds are colourful and also they love colours. Precious smiles of birds we feel and we too smile hearing their chirping in joy. Birds recognize God's garden very well. Birds maintain cleanliness and help us. Behaviour of birds'community wonder us time to time.

Beauty of each bird not only motivates us but also give us perception of God's wonderful creation. Garuda is called as warrior carrier of Lord Vishnu and we know Garuda is Vahana of Lord. In many temples we see Garuda offering prayer. We see king of birds do meditation sitting before sun. Garuda transfers a powerful message to modern society to practice meditation and keep devotion.

Your G-E-G alliteration presentation about Garuda is definitely very informative, sweet and excellent. Garuda is very beautiful and King of all birds. We have scriptural connection with this poem. You have mentioned many names of birds and they have different behaviour and they express gratitude towards nature. Naturally birds are free and rejoice freedom of there own.

(2) You have described the bird with its grandeur and ferocity. In Greek mythology, it is also associated with the punishment of Sisyphus when he informed Asopus, the river god, that Zeus had abducted her daughter Aegina in the form of a massive eagle. Besides that, many of Indonesia's important institutions including 'Garuda Indonesia' (Airlines) have been named after Garuda.

Garuda or the Eagle and many of their variants are noted for their large wing-span size, strength, and powers of flight and sharp vision. Bald Eagle is the US national emblem obviously representing power. Garuda is revered by Hindus as it is the vehicle of Lord Visnu or the one who sacrificed his life while trying to save Sita from Ravana.

Geeta......How you have clubbed its physical elegance and beauty with its symbolic and spiritual significance! Garuda, the eagle is a bird of regal grandeur with its ability to soar high and spot and catch its prey. All the lines starting with G and E have wrought magic here! A 10

Your poem reminds me of these famous lines... Nahi tera nasheman Qasr-e-Sultani ke gumbad par Tu shahi hain basera kar paharon ki chatanon par Thy abode is not the dome of a royal palace; You are the eagle, reside on heights of the mountains (Allama Iqbal)
