This is a famous photo of two swallows - the photograph series was used in science publication about one bird taking care of the dying partner. The healthy bird was feeding and tending to the hurt partner on the sidewalk until the partner passed away. Its a documentation about highly social and intelectually complex behavior in animals. The healthy bird tried to rouse its dead partner after it passed away and sat beside them for quite a while.
@J P Have you got any details of that publication, as I'd like to read it myself. I've tried looking, yet haven't any specifics to narrow my search. Thanks in advance 🙏🏼
Reminds me of the cockatiels (one male, one female) I had as a kid. Both were abused by prior owners, but we took them and had them for many years. One day I came home from school and sat on the couch, only to notice the strangest tweets from the cage. I never heard either of them tweet like that before. When I walked over, the female was at the bottom of the cage, one foot on top of the now dead male. She was singing over his dead body and tried to nip at me when I took his body away. The female lived years longer. She is now long gone as well but I still think about the way she sang that day.
when life doesnt feel real anymore. And you wonder around your thoughs and visions trying to connect again to catch anything and cling to it. This is the feeling i get from this. esplendido!
Makes you think and feel. I try to look at it this way (based on Shakespeare): "its better to have (lived), loved and lost than to have never (lived and) loved at all" … To be here, to be able to witness this living universe is for most people just a casualness. But if you think hard about it, it's just plain mind-boggling we are here at all. Even if a live ends in tragedy - that it ended means, it had the experience of existence in the first place. This is not to take aways the trauma and sadness in your life/s. It's more directed to people who are entitled to having more, having it all at great cost for others. Let us try to make our respective lives (as brief as some may be) slightly less tragic, less painful to live through.
We have Blue Birds nesting in our back yard for the past few years, and we watch them care for and protect each other as well as their young. We also watched how they behaved when two chicks died in the nest. I can only think that they love and grieve. Thank you.
Alive yet so confused through words we cannot understand. Dead yet powerful enough , emotion deeper to subject another , bare, helpless soul enough pain for the world to see , to recognize how we are alike, more and more each day. We grow silent in even our most tragic of painful emotion. Like the dead in so many ways but alive enough to cast it out upon others. What have we crated? What will be? Is there an in-between? A balance of hope, a ray of light, damn it how do we come back from the dead to die again over and over inside our heads. Loss, ....,enough said.
The intense sorrow of the loss subtly points to the heights of love prior. The inconsolable tears of this moment a blazing finality of so many years of happiness and wholeness.
This *master* piece... All these feelings someone can have just by listening to it. This photo... all these feelings someone can have just by looking at it. Imagine how many things someone can have with that combination. Things that are incapable of being described. Things that are so much but so little at the same time. Deeply and sincerely, Thank you.
Music to the soul: I realize there are times when just toning out the world, stops the pain for few minutes, hours…if you just close your eyes. But then it all comes flooding back, this is what this piece does, this is what this image of two birds and the the realities of life is …that no matter how much you try to block it all out, you still have to face life for what is.
@@indiakhetri The beauty of life is the pain.. the sorrow.. the excitement and the joy..oh what a ride life is for us all.... very poignant picture indeed xx
Because of your commendable work I finished my novel listening to all of it. I'm looking forward to support you in any which way possible, my friend. Hopefully you're doing good out there. Thank you again for what you did.
Em 2018 eu estava na guarita do meu prédio, de repente ouvi um barulho no vidro olhei e não vi nada, apos uns dez minutos sai e me deparei com uma cena igual a esta, dois pássaros de penugem esverdeada, um morto e o outro olhando para ele, quando ele me viu voou, senti uma tristeza e fiquei pensando na tristeza deste pássaro que perdeu seu parceiro. em seguida peguei um lenço de papel e com muito carinho enrolei ele e enterrei no nosso jardim; isso e Deus mostrando que ate os animais tem sentimento e fazendo uma reflexão vi que Deus me usou para cuidar daquele animalzinho e me fazer compreender um pouco mais sobre a vida. nunca estamos sozinhos e entenderemos tudo mais adiante.

The photo-music combination is just fantastic. Max Richter is very German in that he excels in melancholy. On a personal note, I recently took care of a bird that had fallen out of the nest, only to see it die, in my hand, having been ravished by a magpie. It was a very sad moment, and this music gave the perfect score for it, if this doesn't sound too cynical. In the end, we have to overcome. Maybe that's one of my few criticisms of Richter: He wallows very much in his pain. At some point, we have to leave it all behind us. Or do we?
Max is the Bach of my time for me. He will be seen as a great composer in the future. and too faithful to turn his back on the melancholy that made him
As someone of Persian origin, I really like German art. You have very valuable artists. It has a universal nature. In general, northern Europeans have a more melancholic nature, in terms of art, perhaps a matter of geography.
German born but he is brought up British, trained in Edinburgh and London... so melancholy might come from the oft times damp miserable weather in Scotland : )
There is hope for eternity offered to us all in Christ Jesus. Please pray for Jesus to reveal himself to you, if you haven't already. Take good care. :)
You never truly realize how much a person truly matters to you until they leave you. All animals die eventually and even humans too, if the bird were smart it would’ve left it’s dead partner to avoid its own death but that day the bird kept love above survival. Is that logical is that smart..? no. But is it beautiful ? Yes, it is.
The swallow shouted, "The scene is the same, except that something is missing that you do not fly with me. Come to the nest with me to teach the chickens the dance of flight. I can not stay away from you. Does anyone know who is to blame for this pain?" And the music tells the story sadly.💔😢
with all the pains, hurts, grievances, the abandonment and rejection by G-D Himself, I no longer know and feel if my own existence was ever worth it. It would have been better if G-D had thrown away my conception. I can't comprehend His cruelty.
Those definitely look like young magpies. My brother & I used to try & take them that young & raise them. They always ended up like the poor little guy on the right, tho.
Last month I saw a magpie standing next to her dead friend just like the one in the photo.There's a school nearby, and most likely the children did it. I stood by and walked on, because I was late for the train and I was very sorry that I couldn't help And I also took a photo..

I was very impressed when I saw it and wanted to use this photo. Thanks for your information
Excelente!!!
be still my weeping heart. Such a gut wrenching story and image. The music doesn't help lol.

it hurts however. I have to put the screen up in the coment section. Can't bear the image.

I see that picture, and I cannot help but weep. The sorrow in the swallow's expression is palpable.

This was so beautiful, thank you
The quote is from Alfred Lord Tennyson, but I like your update of it better anyway.
Reading Shakespeare doesn't make this picture look any pleasant still...
Exactly. Still the saddest part is that no one gets it. Or at least most of them don't. too sad.
That picture broke my heart. Its 01:37 am and the tears is all over my face. True people are real treasures.

The best Max Richter song.

Let yourself cry …

Thank you, glad i was able to touch your life
congratulations on finishing your novel! that is a great accomplishment!
Profunda y emotiva ,
Se sencilla clara como cuando el día y la noche se funden .
Thanks for this wonderful channel, you save me 🥺❤️ thank you much
🥲😪💔🐦🥀🎶 Nic tak nie boli jak śmierć przyjaciela . . .
Love this music.
Great Video! Love it!
Love and loss...
We as humans have to learn a lot from the animals, often they care more, love more and are more true than we will ever be😪
Essa coletânea caiu como uma luva na minha vida, trazendo calmaria e me ajudando na concentração com meus estudos! Obrigada❤️
I thank you

@@dheperissann Absolutely. He takes the Minimalist school to a whole new level and is highly addictive. The right composer at the right time.

Isn't this our whole existence? So tragic.
But what else is there?
There is hope for eternity offered to us all in Christ Jesus. Please pray for Jesus to reveal himself to you, if you haven't already. Take good care. :)
@@ruanddu precisely what I was going to say.
Absolute grief is only possible due to absolute love

Love and logic are hard things to be in the same place my friend
Humans can learn love , kindness and patience from birds 🐦 and animals ❤️. why must we be so ugly to each other 😪
A perfect music over the death
Even creation knows of its creator.
CHE DIRE.....TI ACCAREZZA L' ANIMA
Perfect❤️

Does anyone know who is to blame for this pain? ohh man...
stick to the pain untill it is normal feeling.
¿Qué seremos? si no restos de lo que una vez fuimos

A beautiful photo of despair. Life and fate are cruel
Me and my sister did the same thing)
@@dheperissann This choked me up and brought a tear to my eyes....
Naw he just sleeping
looks like it died in agony. RIP
This world needs empathy.
Last month I saw a magpie standing next to her dead friend just like the one in the photo.There's a school nearby, and most likely the children did it. I stood by and walked on, because I was late for the train and I was very sorry that I couldn't help
And I also took a photo..
If all the bankers, military maniacs and politicians disappeared tomorrow it would be a far lesser loss than if birds disappeared from this world.
What is the name on that foto.
Though Uzbek awaits....the Oman hail...
I feel like I am watching myself dying because of heath issue.

I love this kind of music but this has the sound extremely low.
AS SOON AS I SAW THIS PICTURE , i couldn't even listen to this music... WHAT A HORRIBLE HORRIBLE PICTURE
Miten tunnelmista…
Continuing to ignore the universal evidence that animals have feelings and personalities puts science and business on the same repulsive level.
