1.The nest

Her wings beat wildly. Trying to stay in the air. Her heart was pounding like a wood peckers beak. She did not slow down." Why did those claws have to destroy?" She thought. They always had to do that. But this time it went too far. Her home, the only place she thought safe, was lying on the ground broken into pieces. She screeched a wild cardinal call, warning the creatures around her for the terrible danger coming.

"I have to get out of here!", said Flair as she moved quickly upward, roaring into the sky.
The scared cardinal looked down, then quickly turned away as she saw the destroyed forest. Hundreds of oaks and pines lay down in splinters. Animals running for their lives. It was too much. She started to fly South, away from the dying forest. The sun was setting quickly. She had to land somewhere soon .

"I wonder...", the cardinal started to say when an eagle flew right past her, knocking her off balance.

" Watch out !", she screamed at the eagle. She wasn't in the mood to chase it right now. Flair then spotted a big oak thirteen duck feet away from her . She moved her sun yellow wings downward and flew toward the great tree. Flair gathered some sticks to build a make shift nest. "This will have to do. ", Flair said as she nestled down . Then she fell asleep to the branches swinging in the breeze .
