“Ca ca”shouted the crows flying away from a big bad bear and a grey wolf, when they flew away they left their little baby sister behind but luckily the bear or wolf didn’t see, she was a little scared so I went to go and check on her, then I got chased by the bear when I lost the bear I checked on her again she was gone “The baby bird is gone “ turns out she was inside the house sleeping ,speaking of sleeping I went to sleep as well.

“Tap tap” I woke up as soon as I heard it, it was just the birds, meaning the 4 brothers, they saw her when they were looking for her I tried giving her to them, I never saw it she was hurt we took her back and put her brothers in a cage they were annoyed they wanted to get out I told them “either you stay in here or outside the house after that they were shut it was silent, I was sad I couldn’t do anything to her.

I took her to the vet they said she needs a scan on her arm in case she broke any thing like a bone they said she was fine she just needed a cast I took her back home, every one was on the floor I was worried about them and scared I didn’t t know what to do, I just came back from the the vet I tried getting past them every time I went past someone the birds squealed “my ears hurt STOP IT “after I said that they kept going I was very mad.

I screamed “STOP IT“ as soon as I said it every one got up then I gave the little bird to her big brothers she didn’t want to go with them I was worried I didn’t know what to do should I keep them or not then the mother came and taped on the door I opened the door carefully she flew right in I was scared of her she took the birds and the little one, I was sad.

When it was night time the little bird escaped the her home and came to my house, I didn’t even know, and she came inside when she saw me sleeping on the coach she screamed as loud as she could I heard her but didn’t see her she screamed again then I saw her and put her in the cage the next morning I asked her “why are you here”she said nothing she just pointed at me.

We went to go look for them apparently they moved nests I was annoyed with them when I went with her, she showed the nest and I put it in front of my house so if they see it they would come in and I would put them inside a cage. I was happy for there family.
