The Bird Man of Paris

Ever wonder why people choose what they do with their time everyday?  I cannot help but wonder why The Bird Man, as we cleverly called him, packs his little bag full of sugar coated bread and shuffles to the tourist infested Notre Dame plaza in the heart of Paris (it took us a while to figure out the secret as to why all the birds went to him instead of us – SUGAR).  He does not have to endure the crowds, the walk and the large amount of bird poop.  I, like all the people before and after me, inched my way through the crowd to get a lesson on how to have birds land on me.  If you go to Paris you will seem him there in the summer.  He is always there!

As I look at the photos I remember that it was fun, different and it made me laugh almost like a child would.  Everyone that has encountered this frail man has to have smiled and had some joy in their heart.  That must be why!  He has accomplished with one small, very simple act what some people will not do in a lifetime.
