The objective of the We Write is to pick a partner, and write a freewrite together. @svashta was my partner. We opened a Google Doc, and created this cute little story. We hope you like it.
It was one of those lazy Saturday mornings, one of those when I sleep in.
And I heard a strange noise from outside my bedroom window; an eerie and piercing noise; one I had never heard before in my life.
I rubbed my eyes and swiftly got up, put on my pants and shirt I had lying next to me still from last night and looked outside, moving the curtains.
I witnessed the source of the disturbance. It was a baby sparrow that had fallen out of its nest, below the old Oak tree.
”The poor thing,” I thought to myself, looked around to find a warm and cozy piece of clothing to wrap it in and hurried outside; it was cold outside, after all.
The baby was shouting and chirping for its mother, who was watching from the branch above. I wasn’t sure if the mother would attack me if I touched its offspring.
I was confused at first why the mother didn’t fly down to the little baby sparrow on its own. Did it throw its offspring out of its nest?
But when I got closer, the mama bird seemed to be pleading for my help. I gently wrapped the baby in the old tee-shirt and lifted it to its nest.
The two birds, however, were still chirping loudly - the baby sparrow had hurt its wing badly and needed help. There was no way its mother could tend that wound.
I grabbed the whole nest; mother bird and all and jumped into my car. The Vet said the little birds would recover fine, and they would be put back into the wild.
Great fun!!!

We can do it that way. Svashta and I used the Google doc, and wrote line for line.

You guys really winged it when you wrote this sad saga, an attempt no doubt to prove that a bird out of its nest is worth two in the house. Obviously, neither of you are Alfred Hitchcock fans and you have failed here to heed his warnings about having liaisons with those of a feathered persuasion, many of whom have colorful pasts. I would love to sing your praises but my mind has become clouded with seeds of doubt. If I compliment you now then in the future you may write tales of nest less hard boiled mind reading chirp bots that fly in the face of reality. No, no, no, I must be honest and say in truth that this story is for the birds and those with matching intellect. 🙄 😜 🐣
