What is meant by the term “Anthropomorphism”?
This is a term used to describe ‘the ascribing of human characteristics to non human things’. In this case, we tend to attach our emotional feelings to wild birds, forgetting that these are wild creatures and do not have human emotions as we might think. They instead live primarily by instincts. This is a study that can get very in-depth and I don’t want to get into it here, but just remember, wild creatures don’t show emotions as we humans do. For some of us humans, this is very hard to understand, but it’s best if we try not to get too emotional about our charges.
