“Every bird, every tree, every flower reminds me what a blessing and privilege it is just to be alive.” — Marty Rubin

In the heart of a mysterious rainforest, a male red-tailed black cockatoo flew through the sun-dappled leaves. As he flew, he came upon a beautiful tree in full bloom, its branches heavy with delicate flowers.

He landed on a branch, his eyes drawn to a stunning sight. Across from him sat a female cockatoo, her presence captivating. Her feathers, flecked with gold and starry specks, seemed to contain the entire cosmos. Her tail glowed like embers, and her eyes were as calm and deep as the oceans. She was a vision of grace and mystery, holding within her the universe's secrets.

The male was spellbound by her beauty, the elegance of her form, and the serenity in her gaze. Yet, he did not realise that she, too, was equally entranced. She admired the way the sunlight caught the hidden colors in his feathers, reflecting a spectrum of hues. His vibrant tail, so full of life and fire, mesmerised her.

This was not a moment of a mutual acknowledgment of beauty. They admired each other, each in awe of the other's unique splendour. In this quiet exchange, they shared a moment of pure appreciation celebrating the magnificence of their existence.
