I had sat down to rest and a little wren landed on fence next to face. I felt like I got the impression that he was thankful for my work. Ha ha! Had a good laugh at myself on that one. Why on earth would a little wren have any interest in my building gabions. After finishing my work for the day and I was getting together my tools I see the wren land again with a friend. They had bits of string and strips of bark. They both hopped into the spaces of rock in the gabion to began making their nest. I do not call those kind a confirmation. Maybe I just had a wild thought and a little wren by happen chance wanted to start building a nest on my new constructed gabion.
I think that was pretty cool and why spoiling it with over-analyzing? Why not just go with the flow and for the sake of experiment take it as wren really did express gratitude. Many people wouldn't even notice the wren and during that moment you were connected with nature and that is priceless - even if it comes with "crazy animal lady" tag ;)
It is my impression too that animals ( and plants) try to communicate with us all the time - but we dont know how to listen. Perhaps we can tune this sense, its certainly worth experimenting. OSIT
