This was very cute. I like anthropomorphize perspective of animals. Only one nit pick, is the last paragraph changes from 1st to 3rd person.

Thank you for the feedback.
The last paragraph changes because it goes from the young bird telling his own personal story… to that of a narration of the mother coming home and her offspring being gone.
I can see how that could be a bit confusing. Let me rethink it. Thank you.

Broke my heart… I was so excited for the little guy, but I ached for his mom, who probably would have liked to push him from the nest. Lovely, short tale. The change in POV is great – but maybe just write the entire last paragraph from the mom’s POV or break out that one last line into it’s own… really great!

Tweaked it a bit, hope it flows a bit more. Thank you for the feedback!
