The Saga Comes to An End

These past few weeks we’ve been following the young bird family nesting under the leaf of a rubber plant on the Bender’s balcony: the nest building, the five eggs, the hatching . . . and now it comes to an end. The last little bird has flown the coop. Momma has tidied up and is ready to start life again without shells, constant feedings, and the ceaseless chatter of her brood. The rubber plant that shielded the avian family is on its own again.
