When they hatch, they bond to their mother duck or goose or if it happens to be a human, they will bond with that human, too. ( Have you ever seen the remarkable movie, Fly Away Home?)
Then I thought about baby humans......if ducks and geese bond......humans are alot more complicated than ducks or geese ....what happens at a human baby's birth?
More and more science is proving that newborns retain and imprint much more than you would think - even though they are so seemingly delicate and unaware.
And I wonder about all those babies born under hospital conditions with doctors and nurses they may never see again. So much loss at such an early age. Can that, perhaps have anything to do with our social unease .... incomplete or lost bonding?
