Sometimes You Shouldn't Believe Your Eyes

Here is an amazing picture.

I saw it on Facebook with this caption:

Extraordinary Timing...
Mother and Father saving a baby bird from falling. 
wow...


At the last count there were 675 likes, 1438 shares,  and a whole string of comments about how amazing the picture is (which indeed it is) AND how wonderful it is that the mommy and daddy are working so hard to save their baby.




H O W E V E R.... 
The picture is actually of birds fighting. 
Here is the photographer's website describing it.







Here is another photograph from the series.


My point being....
You can't believe how something appears, 
AND
You can't always believe what you read on the internet, unless of course you read it here.


Love,
Buddy

Thanks for your work. I have spent ages trying to track down the source of the photo and luckily found you through google images. So I "pinned" a link to the photographer - at least the truth is out there.
