Black Bird

Black Bird

High in the Colorado Mountains, deep in the trees, lives a mama crow. She has Shiny black feathers, bright green eyes, and five baby birds that look just like her.

It was falling night in the Colorado mountains, and mama crow's babies were starting to get hungry. So she flew through the trees looking for food.

Mama crow spotted some food near the nest and went to catch it. After she caught the food, she spotted a hungry eagle that had been looking for food all night, and he was flying right above her nest

Mama crow grabbed the food very quickly, then she hurried over to her nest, soaring through the trees

She reached her nest just before the eagle could strike at her babies. Even though she was a very small bird, she was gonna do anything to protect her babies.

The eagle began to come closer, and she kept trying to scare it off. She kept thinking she had tried everything to make the eagle go away. Mama Crow and the eagle started flying around the trees, fighting over the nest.

Mama Crow was getting exhausted from fighting with the eagle. She needed to get rid of the eagle fast, and then she remembered she had found this large piece of food.

Mama Crow flew around the tree where she had hidden the food. She picked it up and hoped it would be enough to drive away the eagle

Mama Crow flew toward the eagle. Instead of trying to fight the eagle, she threw the eagle the food instead. The crow wasn't expecting her to share.

The eagle took the food and ate it. The eagle began to realize, while eating, that Mama Crow's family meant so much to her that she would give away something of her own just to protect her babies.

The eagle finished eating. Then he spread his wings. And flew into the trees.

Mama Crow finally flew into her nest, happy to see her five babies. She settled beside them and fed them the rest of the food that she had that the eagle didn't take.

Mama Crow was glad she had solved her problems without her babies getting hurt. Mama Crow was also happy that she learned that fighting isn't always the better option.

Mama Crow will always remember the day that she had to protect her babies from an eagle.

She will also never forget that there are often better choices than taking something from someone else and that a little sharing can change a lot.
