It looks like we can learn some things from dinosaurs and birds. The role of a Dad in a kid's life cannot be overstated. Playing along with the bird theme and the 90% of bird families having a mom and dad bird involved gives new meaning to the term "empty nest syndrome." It sounds like it is unacceptable in the bird world for a dad to leave the nest to have the mom bird raise the kid birds alone. The birds can teach us human dads a lesson because we need some help in turning the tide on our "empty nest" trend.
