Egret Plumes
This is certainly a gorgeous heavenly bird of God’s creation. If there can be said there is a little of heaven on earth this surely can be a symbol to make you think that.
They can grow to about three feet tall and weigh around two pounds or more. Their massive wings can be more than five feet across. The Egret is a type of heron and is shown thus because it keeps a crook in its neck while it flies through the air.
The mommy and the daddy are the same and look alike, but there are different kinds of egrets that are different colors and sizes. Sometimes the bill can get darker during the mating season. They like to have colonies of nests in the trees so you can imagine the streaks of white flashing through the air. They don't make much sound in these tree tops but you will hear them sometimes making a croaking sound of cuk, cuk, cuk.
The Egret flies slowly and has a yellow bill and black legs. When it is breeding time they get beautiful, delicate ornamental plumage on the back. They build a nest of rough sticks very high in the trees. It only takes a few day and the eggs hatch out the little chicks.
These lovely birds like the shallow water where they can catch fish and frogs as well as other small animals for their food.
