Çeri and Beri

I have two parakeets, Çeri (Cherry) and Beri (Berry). They are the loveliest bird couple in the world! In the beginning, Çeri was alone and he was quite calm most of the time. Then we found Beri on the street. She was very hungry and thirsty and about to die. We took her in and put her in Çeri's cage. With our love and care she regained her strength and started to get out of the cage and discover the house. Çeri, on the other hand, eyed her suspiciously for two days. Then, suddenly, he started to follow her everywhere! It's really funny to watch, to be honest; but a bit embarrassing to see a male in this situation, even if it's a bird...

(Çeri is the white-blue one by the way)

Anyway, they're maybe the happiest creatures on Earth and that made me think. I refill their food and water when they're empty. If I don't, they will just die. They seem not to worry about this, but they really don't have any insurance about their future. There is simply no guarantee that they will have food the next time they're hungry. So why they're so happy? I think there are two explanations. One, they're stupid. They're simply incapable of realising the risks. The ignorance is bliss and so on... Second, they're somehow aware of something that assures them and keep them from worrying and let them enjoy life. Which one do you think?

I know poverty is one of the hardest things in life. But maybe living a life where somedays you can't find anything to eat is better than a life of constant worrying about the future.
