TBF Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 The bird does not know it can fly until it has left the branch. Travis F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggercontrol Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 How much of it do you think is instinct vs. conscious thought? In the bird that is, not in us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBF Posted November 30, 2005 Author Share Posted November 30, 2005 (edited) I was more thinking that the bird had to have faith in it's ability to do something it never had done before. JUMP ! Travis F. Edited November 30, 2005 by TBF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benos Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Yes... Intend without thinking! As adults, we've forgotten how to do that. be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
folsoml Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Also, like was discussed on another thread, the thought that he might fall to the ground never entered the bird's mind. He left the branch thinking only about flying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cking Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Most birds are thrown from nest and most don't fly on first try and are picked and thrown out again until they get the hang of it. Now that reminds me of life, learn to fly because the alternative sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rikarin Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 But I remember when I was a child, I jumped off from stairwell TOTALLY believing I can fly.... only to hit the ground and I was in utter disbelief.... This is how Uma Thruman managed to get that super-power on Kill Bill 2 right??? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 (edited) Riki, you DID fly! You DID! Birds just "land" better than we do. Well, at least your short flight left a lasting ......impression....? Edited December 13, 2005 by Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
