According to the book of Genesis, our earliest ancestors, Adam and Eve, first lived in peace with all the animals and enjoyed perfect friendship and harmony with them. But in the course of time, after the wicked serpent tempted Adam and Eve to eat the forbidden fruit, this situation unfortunately ceased to prevail. Although some animals were tamed and domesticated, most of them became afraid of humans, and some even became dangerous to them. Nevertheless, by the grace of God, perfect harmony between human beings and birds and beasts have been witnessed from time to time in miraculous and astonishing ways, especially in the lives of the saints.
