Pronutro that much. After he had eaten, I covered him with a<br />
corner of the towel.<br />
As Birdie grew we fed him some weird stuff. Mommy read<br />
about it on her phone.<br />
He ate banana, pawpaw, brown rice, raw mince, and worms. I<br />
was so brave.<br />
Mommy asked, “How can a little girl like you stand to touch<br />
worms?”<br />
“When I pick up the worms I’m not just a little girl,” I said,<br />
“I’m my Birdie’s Mommy.”<br />
Every day I took Birdie out of his cage and let him fly in my<br />
room so he could practise. He learned to land carefully and<br />
not crash into things. We cared for him for three weeks; then<br />
mommy and I decided he was ready to be free.<br />
I carried him back to the park in the cage. Once we were<br />
between the trees I opened the door.<br />
He hopped out and, quick as a wink, flew into the nearest<br />
tree. He looked down at me with his shiny little eyes and<br />
then he fluffed his feathers, stretched his wings and flew<br />
away.<br />
Mommy kissed my head and said, “You did a great job Layla.”<br />
