Chapter 421 - A RARE PHENOMENON
The third day of vacation, Cayenne and Stefan were having breakfast with the whole family. Their morning plan was to visit the famous bird and butterfly sanctuary. Cory was very excited about it because she likes birds a lot.
The bodyguards were also on high alert since they will be getting int another crowded place.
They step out of the hotel at nine in the morning and visited the aviary first since it was nearer to them. Cayenne was ready to take pictures while Stefan was ready to take videos for her travel vlog.
When they got inside the huge metal cage, birds of all kinds were flying inside. The square-shaped cage was about sixty meters high and it covers two hectares of land. The metal cage was covered with a blue-green colored net to prevent the birds from escaping the place. Inside the cage were large trees and shrubs. It looked like a dense forest with a small trail for people to walk and follow.
"This is paradise." Cory commented, looking around with her cheerful eyes. Now that she can see things, she felt a bit emotional but she learned to control her feelings already because she didn't want to trigger her illness.
Some of the birds were interacting with the people; flying around them and some of them even ate the bread crumbs that the tourist threw on the ground.
There were birds singing a beautiful melody, as if showing their prowess to the other birds. Some lovebirds were even in the process of courtship.
"Bro, can you take a picture of me over there?" Luiz turned to his brother while pointing to a large tree with so many birds resting at its branches. He was making his way as silent as he could but some of the birds still flew away. Luiz was disappointed and shrugged his shoulders. Kyle covered his mouth to suppress the laughter coming from him.
Luiz was about to leave the place but a surprise look appeared on their faces and Luiz stopped moving. In his eyes, a beautiful mixture of colors appeared, the reflection of the beautiful parrot that was perching on his shoulders.? The parrot was looking into Luiz face and Luiz was turning his face to look at this beautiful creature well. The two of them were staring at each other.
Instead of taking pictures, Kyle decided to take a video of this interaction. Not just him, even the other tourist was looking at Luiz now with envious gazes and with their phones on recording motion. Cayenne was the same. She was stunned to see her brother and the parrot staring at each other.
"Hey, there little guy." Luiz mumbled with so much happiness in his eyes. He wanted to touch the parrot but he was afraid that it would fly away. He slowly lifted his hand and poked its head and to his shock, the parrot rubbed its head on his finger. It even moved closer to him.
Luiz smiled happily and rubbed his hand on the parrot's head. One after another, the birds that flew earlier came back to perch on the tree and the were making sounds that the people couldn't understand at all. The parrot on his shoulder was also making the same sound.
"Your friends are calling you now." Luiz muttered, as if the little bird could understand him.
The parrot tilted its head and looked at Luiz again.
"This is so cute." One of the tourists stated while taking video as well.
"A handsome man with a beautiful bird on his shoulder. It does make a strange pair but it makes a beautiful picture and creates a warm atmosphere." Another tourist mentioned.
Many children were amazed while looking at Luiz. They wanted to know what trick he did but the didn't make any sounds because they didn't want the parrot to fly away.
After five minutes, the parrot flapped its wings and started flying around Luiz. They all thought that it would leave but another surprising phenomenon happened. The other parrots joined as well. They flapped their wings and circled around Luiz. It was enchanting and even the caretaker and trainer of the birds noticed this, too.
"This child is blessed." The caretaker commented and it so-happen that he was standing right behind Cayenne and Stefan.
"What do you mean?" Cayenne asked, wanting to know more about what the man said.
"I'm one of the trainers here and in our province there's a saying that if a group of birds fly around you, you are a bless soul and the birds like it so much. You can say that the bird which started it was attracted to the young man."
"Oh." Cayenne smiled. "That bird really knows how to look for a handsome person."
"They don't particularly choose handsome people." The trainer mentioned while stealing a side glance at Stefan. His side glance was telling them the obvious meaning. Stefan was handsome but the birds didn't do the same thing to him which means, there's something different from him. "This is a very rare occurrence."
The birds circled around Luiz for a minute and then they started flying upwards while making those noises again. The last one to leave was the bird that approach Luiz. It circled around him few more times, perched on his shoulder again and pressed its beak on his face before flying away to catch with its group.
Luiz was so stunned to move, just keeping his head raised to see the flying birds.
"Oh my god! Did you just see that?!" Luiz exclaimed and walked to his brother. "I'm having goosebumps from excitement. That was really awesome."
"I know." Kyle grinned and handed the phone back to his younger brother. "We all see what happened so it means, you're not dreaming."
"Cool!" Luiz looked at his sister and happily told her what happened from the very beginning. "I just can't believe it. I am so happy." Luiz couldn't stop thinking about it again and again.
Without him knowing, this event was already uploaded to different social media accounts and it spread all over the world. This made people, whose advocate was to save the nature and animal, pursue their objectives once again. To protect our environment will keep us humans alive.
