Oh no !
The photographs you are about to see show how a very determined male bird tries to save his female mate that has been seriously injured.
Here the female bird is injured and her condition is not good.
The male bird brings her food and attends to her.
Although he tries to help her, she is too badly injured and dies.
He is shocked over her death and tries desperately to bring her back to life, trying to pull her up and make her move.
He finally realizes that she has passed away.
He stands by her side, calling and crying for help.
Finally realizing that she will never return to him, he stands beside her lifeless body, unable to leave her side.
The photos of these two birds are said to have been taken in the Republic of the Ukraine.
The photographer sold these pictures for a small price to one of the most famous newspapers in France. All the copies of that newspaper were sold out on the day they published these photos.

Walton Ford
Walton Ford's paintings have the layers of classical landscape , Audubon images and the tension in process destruction that makes us wait- want to watch wondering what will happen next. Beautifully crafted and a direct reference to the early modern work of Audubon and other documentary landscape and animal paintings -visually rich, active images hold the eye there to watch, to anticipate. History is never innocent in the world of Walton Ford’s wildlife watercolors and prints. Ford’s animals are frozen in devilish acts that range from violent to simply mean-spirited, and sometimes, in parodies of famous paintings. The fantastical combination of a historical style with comic or disturbing content makes these works pointed political commentaries about international policies, the environment, and human. Within Ford’s lexicon of what he gladly terms “fake natural history” animal species become allegories for nations, and his style is a shorthand critique of political and social issues rooted in the past, most explicitly the colonization of Africa and India by western Europe. By using animals for sociopolitical critique and commentary, Ford consciously follows in the footsteps of fifteenth-century artists like Hieronymus Bosch and Albrecht DĂ¼rer.
