鹰的造访

某周末的下午,屋前的枫树飞来了一只不速之客 - 鹰 (hawk)。

我是鸟盲,分不清我所看到的到底是鹰还是雕,算是鹰吧,因为自孩儿开始 ,雕是坏蛋,而眼前这鸟像是上帝派来的萌货。

牠目光炯炯,不停环顾四周,像是寻觅可食目标,但飞来了一只小鸟,停留在牠后面,仅一步之差,牠又不屑一顾,直到跟前来了一只不知天高地厚的小松鼠,牠一飞爪欲擒,小松鼠却逃离了。

牠不怕生,地上人来车往,牠泰然自若,可能在牠的字典里没有惊弓之鸟之说的吧。

越对着牠狂拍,我越发越情迷意乱了,有股很强烈的冲动,想把牠引回家,宠物一样养着牠,宠着牠,因为我知道,待会牠的不告而飞,也许是从此以后,我再也见不到牠的了。

接下来的几天,每天经过那棵树,我都不由自主地朝树上瞧一瞧,但每次留给我的只是无边的念想。

如果有来生,你,还会来看我吗?


【鹰的重生】
鹰可以活到70岁,但在牠活到40岁时,牠必须经过一个十分痛苦且自虐的更新过程,就是飞到悬崖上,用岩石把已老化的喙敲掉,用新长的喙把趾甲拔掉,最后用新长的趾甲再把羽毛拔掉,让新羽毛长出来,150天漫长的蜕变,才可以重新飞翔。可以再活三十年。

【"Rebirth" of The Eagle】
The eagle has the longest life-span of its' species. It can live up to 70 years. But to reach this age, the eagle must make a hard decision in its' 40's.

Its' long and flexible talons can no longer grab prey which serves as food.
Its' long and sharp beak becomes bent.
Its' old-aged and heavy wings, due to their thick feathers, become stuck to its' chest and make it difficult to fly.

Then, the eagle is left with only two options: die or go through a painful process of change which lasts 150 days.

The process requires that the eagle fly to a mountain top and sit on its' nest.

There the eagle knocks its' beak against a rock until it plucks it out. After plucking it out, the eagle will wait for a new beak to grow back and then it will pluck out its' talons.

When its' new talons grow back, the eagle starts plucking its' old-aged feathers.

And after five months, the eagle takes its famous flight of rebirth and lives for 30 more years.
