Una tarde tranquila y soleada, hace ya mas de doce años atrás, recuerdo que estaba fuera de casa jugando con algunos amigos al football soccer. No habían retadores y teníamos la calle comunal cerrada para impedir, o al menos ese era el objetivo, el tráfico vehícular.
De pronto, uno de los vecinos llama mi atención llamando por mi nombre. "Hey Romner, ¿ese Loro no es tuyo?". Al voltear, allí se encontraba Lorenza, en la reja de una vecina con el ala malherida. De momento, no le habíamos dado nombre alguno, pero en nuestra casa mi mamá tenía algunos pájaros que se quedaban en casa luego de ser "curados o salvados".
Quiero aclarar que mi mamá no es Doctora ni Veterinaria, realizó solo un curso de primeros auxilios pero con ese conocimiento ha logrado rescatar y salvar la vida de varios animales y entre ellos, las aves. Lorenza, la protagonista de éste post, fue una de ellas.
Allí estaba Lorenza en esa tarde, con su ala malherida por lo que se le dificultaba volar. Enseguida busqué un palo de escoba para que ella se montara encima y procedí a llevarsela a mi mamá. Una vez en casa, comenzamos a cuidar de ella y limpiar su herida. Además, la alimentamos y la fuimos uniendo a las demás aves para que socializara con algunos de su misma especie.
One calm and sunny afternoon, more than twelve years ago, I remember I was outside playing soccer with some friends. There were no challengers and we had the communal street closed to prevent, or at least that was the objective, vehicular traffic.
Suddenly, one of the neighbors catches my attention calling my name. "Hey Romner, isn't that Parrot yours?". Turning around, there stood Lorenz, on a neighbor's fence with a badly injured wing. At the moment, we had not given her any name, but in our house my mom had some birds that stayed at home after being "cured or saved".
I want to clarify that my mom is not a doctor or veterinarian, she only took a first aid course, but with that knowledge she has managed to rescue and save the lives of several animals, including birds. Lorenz, the protagonist of this post, was one of them.
There Lorenz was that afternoon, with a badly injured wing, making it difficult for her to fly. I immediately looked for a broomstick for her to ride on and proceeded to take her to my mom. Once home, we began to take care of her and clean her wound. We also fed her and put her with the other birds so she could socialize with some of her own kind.
En la casa, nunca le cortamos las alas a las aves y tampoco las mantenemos encerradas. Le damos su espacio y total libertad, pero eso es lo interesante, ellas deciden convivir con nosotros y se convierten en prácticamente nuestra familia. He aquí el título del post. La lealtad que han demostrado Lorenza, y no solo ella, sino todos los animales que hemos tenido la fortuna de compartir con ellos con cariño, amor y respeto, muestran hacia nosotros un amor y lealtad incomparables al que nuestros propios suelen brindarnos. No hay amor mas puro y leal que el de los animales, seres inteligentes y entregados para con los que les traten bien con amor y respeto.
Lorenza decidió quedarse a convivir con nosotros y al final, se apegó mucho más a mi persona que a mi mamá. Lo que sucedía es que mi madre al tener que trabajar y yo sin mucho oficio, me mantenía en casa y cuidaba de ella, compartía y almorzaba con ella. Poco a poco, Lorenza se fue apegando a mi, tanto al grado que actualmente me busca por la casa y me cela de mi familia, a los cuáles "tira a picar" cuando se me acercan mucho y ella está presente.
At home, we never clip the birds' wings and we never keep them locked up. We give them their space and total freedom, but that's the interesting thing, they decide to live with us and become practically our family. Here is the title of the post. The loyalty shown by Lorenz, and not only her, but all the animals that we have had the fortune to share with them with affection, love and respect, show us a love and loyalty incomparable to the one that our own usually give us. There is no love more pure and loyal than that of animals, intelligent and devoted beings to those who treat them well with love and respect.
Lorenz decided to stay with us and in the end, she became much more attached to me than to my mother. What happened was that my mother had to work and I had no job, so I stayed at home and took care of her, shared and ate lunch with her. Little by little, Lorenz became attached to me, so much so that nowadays she is looking for me around the house and she is jealous of my family, who she "throws at me" when they get too close to me and she is present.
En éstos largos años con ella al lado he aprendido mucho sobre el cuidado de las aves. Normalmente comía semillas de girasol, sin embargo, esos productos alimenticios se han vuelto muy costosos y su dieta se ha adaptado a granos, cereales, verduras y frutas que solemos preparar y cocinar. A Lorenza le encanta acercarse a la cocina mientras preparamos el almuerzo y comienza a "cantar", aunque mas que canto, intenta imitar con tonadas las palabras que ha aprendido a mimetizar con el tiempo.
Las palabras y frases más comunes y mejor mimetizadas son: mi nombre, suele llamarme cuando me ve paseando por el jardín, regando las matas o a veces grita mi nombre cuando me escucha lejos por la sala o los cuartos. La segunda frase que suele decir comunmente es "dame la pata", palabra que le decimos cuando le colocamos nuestra mano para que suba sus patitas y poder moverla o pasearla con nosotros. El tercer sonido que suele imitar es el de los Gatos. Si, Lorenza mimetiza el maullido de esos pequeños felinos y me da una gran risa cuando lo hace.
Son aves inteligentes y obedientes, con el paso del tiempo ha aprendido a obedecer algunas órdenes, como por ejemplo, cuando ya cae la noche la envíamos a dormir y ella procede a irse a su cálido hogar a espera de un nuevo día.
Quería presentarles a ésta compañera de vida, que a pesar de ser libre, en su libertad decidió convivir con sus rescatadores. Estoy muy agradecido por todo el amor que me ha dado y sé que algún día marchará ya sea que decida irse, lo cuál dudo, o simplemente pase a mejor vida. Su recuerdo vivirá y perdurará en mi memoría, y ahora también en la de ustedes. Muchas Gracias por tomarse el tiempo de leer nuestra historia, Lorenza les manda un maullido con amor xD
In these long years with her by my side I have learned a lot about bird care. She used to eat sunflower seeds, however, those food products have become very expensive and her diet has adapted to grains, cereals, vegetables and fruits that we usually prepare and cook. Lorenz loves to come to the kitchen while we prepare lunch and starts "singing", although more than singing, she tries to imitate with tunes the words she has learned to mimic over time.
The most common and best mimicked words and phrases are: my name, he usually calls me when he sees me walking in the garden, watering the bushes or sometimes he shouts my name when he hears me far away in the living room or in the bedrooms. The second phrase he usually says is "give me your paw", a word we say when we place our hand on his paw so that he can move it or walk it with us. The third sound she usually imitates is the sound of cats. Yes, Lorenz mimics the meowing of those little felines and it gives me a big laugh when she does it.
They are intelligent and obedient birds, with the passage of time has learned to obey some orders, for example, when night falls we send her to sleep and she proceeds to go to her warm home waiting for a new day.
I wanted to introduce you to this life companion, who in spite of being free, in her freedom decided to live with her rescuers. I am very grateful for all the love she has given me and I know that someday she will leave whether she decides to go away, which I doubt, or simply pass on. His memory will live on and live on in my memory, and now in yours as well. Thank you very much for taking the time to read our story, Lorenz sends you a meow with love xD
