Dillard talks a lot about how the human and animal interaction and behaviors are very different, but similar at the same time.
Pg.542
The lady bird lays her eggs, and one by one they begin to hatch. Her baby birds don't feed off of her as much as any type of animal would do. The baby's eggs crack and the mother bird wants no more than to eat them for lunch, but opposite of other animals, she takes one more look at her babies and realizes they are not her food, but one of her own. She cares for them like any typical parent to a child would and keeps them safe from danger.
