The document contains a riddle about the number of birds remaining on a tree as a hunter approaches. It describes there being 76 crows, 14 parrots, and 10 squirrels originally on the tree. The crows are fighting over a bone and do not notice the hunter, while the squirrels hide in a hole. The parrots notice the hunter and decide to fly away. The document explains that the correct answer is that there are still 90 birds on the tree, as the parrots have only decided to fly, but have not yet taken action. The lesson is that a decision does not change the current situation until it is acted upon.

14. There are-
76 crows
14 parrots and
10 squirrels on a tree.
A hunter with a big gun approaches dangerously close to
the tree.
Crows are fighting between them for a piece of bone, so they
don’t notice.
Squirrels hide in a tree hole,
Parrots notice the hunter and decide to fly.
How many birds are left on the tree??
It’s simple. Isn’t it?
The Riddle:

15. Some people are quick to answer:
76 crows are left on the tree. They know
squirrels are not birds.
Many people heard this kind of puzzle in before
and respond NONE!
When a hunter fires the gun, all birds will fly!
But both of these answers are not correct.

16. Because the riddle tells us, ‘hunter approaches’ the tree. There is no firing of gun yet.
The correct answer is: 90!
Yes…90. There are 76 crows and 14 parrots on the tree.
I can hear some of you protesting, “But parrots decided to fly!”
That’s where lies the real lesson:
They just DECIDED. They haven’t flown yet.
Deciding something doesn’t make a difference. Until and unless there is an action on
that decision, status quo remains.
