yes, the wishing/acting issue is essential. we've had some interesting experiences with birds, ducks around the house here, fish too. there definitely is a way of exchange, but hard to grasp. in response to you’re forum name, i’ve noticed that crows oftentimes respond to humans. if i open a window or leave the house, i see they react on that. or, when biking trough the fields, they let one know were they are hiding in the trees.
the subject is a kind of hard to define, maybe its more a matter of allowing, and ore being allowed.
but on the other hand, like you mentioned in your thread about the sacred site you've found, in other times people were 'skilled', dowsing, shamanistic rituals etc., to consult nature spirits, these are techniques that can be learned. but then, diving in to the left-brain-area spoils it all for me.
