Very nice. Gregory Peck, as Atticus Finch, came in front of my eyes as I read your piece. The book and the film left an unforgettable mark on many.

Please write about 'andril paravai'. Recently i saw the painting of these mythological birds at the caves of Sittanavasal.

It is not a mythological bird Saraya! It is Ibis (red naped) which is seen quite commonly in all wetlands across India

Fascinating read about the mystical bird, looks like its mind is much bigger than its head brain! Mind - A point of consciousness beyond brain.

Wonderfully written. Loved To Kill a Mockingbird. Do you know how the bird got its name? Seems somewhat disparaging contrary to the bird's symbolism.

It is not so disparaging Vidya! Since it can mimic the sounds of many birds, sometime it may look as she is mocking at them!

Multiple Thanks!! WOW to see so many shots of the mocking bird!! Such an educative portrayal. So much told of so many aspects! You transported me to the nostalgic land aka one of my fav, "To kill a mocking bird", Atticus Finch et al! So much told about Harper Lee, his nudges, mockingbird symbolism, i agree with J.D.Salinger quote!! Time to collate these treasures into books, coffee table books! Definite best sellers! Thanks to Dr.Rajaram and Mr.Senthilnathan who allocated our unit postings!! Enjoyed every part of the post, and each of the photographs, awesome!

மிகவும் சிறப்பான பதிவு. அதிசயப்பறவையின் வித்தியாசமான குரலில் தொடங்கி, நாவலுக்குள் சென்று, மார்ட்டின் லூதர் கிங்கைத் தொட்டுத் திரும்பி, மயன் கதைக்குள் சென்று, இறுதியில் மேடைக்கு அழைக்கப்பட்ட பறவை மிக அழகாகப் பாடி பாராட்டுகளைப் பெறுவதை முத்தாய்ப்பாகச் சொல்லி முடிக்கப்பட்ட விதம் அருமை. இனிமையானதொரு கவிதையைப் படித்த அனுபவம். தன்னைச் சுற்றிப் பாடும் பல பறவைகளின் குரல்களை எளிதில் கற்றுக்கொள்ளும் பறவை என்னும் விஷயமே மிகவும் ஆர்வமூட்டுகிறது. பிற பறவைகளின் குரல்களை மட்டுமல்லாது, பிரெஞ்சு, ஆங்கிலம் போன்ற மொழிகளில் அமைந்த பாடல்களைக் கூட அது கற்றுக்கொள்ளும் திறமையுள்ளது என்பதை அறிய ஆச்சரியமாகவே உள்ளது. பாவண்ணன்
