Short story alert:
Once upon a time there was a beautiful robin who built a bird
nest in a tree near the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France. The robin laid 3
delicate cream-colored eggs in the nest. The eggs were the loveliest cream
color with tiny little red speckles the robin had ever seen. The robin sat on her eggs
to keep them warm for almost 15 days unless she was out hunting for food to
eat. When the mother robin wasn’t
sitting on her eggs to keep them warm or hunting for food to eat, she would
perch near the top of the Eiffel Tower and watch all the people going by. On
the 14th day the eggs started slowly hatching one by one until there
were three tiny baby robins for the parents to care for. Both parents of the
baby robins take turns feeding them. For about 3 weeks the parents feed their
beautiful baby birds. After two weeks of the baby robins being in the nest the
parents gently nudge them from the nest to teach them how to fly and take care
of themselves. One by one the baby robins are gently and safely pushed from the
tree. All three of the baby birds land safely on the ground where they learn to
fly and feed themselves. THE END!
