THE WORLD OF BIRDS

A point in my life when being free was my earnest expectations, when nothing else matters apart from freedom and family, and I just don't want to lose them.

This evening, I decided to go check on mom's farm. On my way to the farm I walk pass a cute little bird on a tree, so lonely I guess so I decided not to disturb it but take a photograph.
After a look around the farm I also check on the crops to make sure the are in good position and that some are not destroyed by pest.
While doing so a hunter from nowhere jumped out breathing as fast as he can, I ran thinking that something must be after him but he shouted

"hey man! hey man! I'm just after a bird I shot and I need to find it quickly before it gains little strength to fly! Nothing is after me man we good!"

I stop, coming back slowing I asked -where did you shoot the bird- He said at the wing, I need to find it fast or it might fly! It was at that moment I knew what was actually wrong with the bird.
So I said quickly, you're very lucky man I just saw a bird fighting it's way down there go after it this way before it finds a safe spot or point to fly. So the hunter ran immediately even before I completed the sentence. I smiled at how fast I could produced a lie confidently 😂 "maybe it's one of my gifts, I murmured "
Quickly I left for the bird and getting there, the bird was still at the same spot it was when I first saw it and immediately I felt how much pain it's going through.
I shook the tree for it to fall and I picked it up and went home.
On the other hand, the bird was struggling to get off my hands but I couldn't let it go. I brought a robe and tired it's leg to a heavy wood.
I bought coconut for it to drink it's water and cassava for it to eat. I kept doing that everyday and checking it's wounded wing and there was improvements. After about 4-5 days, I untied the bird in the morning holding it not to fly quickly cause I knew it must has gained enough strength and health to fly. So I said to the bird - I really enjoyed your company and I wish you could stay, I won't force you to stay so goodbye cutie - So I left the bird, first it fell to the ground and immediately it flew.
I also noticed it first flew round and round then up very high, and then down... And I said you must have missed home and how it feels like!

But I was surprised to see the same bird come back at about 3pm in the evening but wouldn't come down. So I took some photographs quickly.

the more closer I get made it flee.
It was at that point this aforementioned qoute was formed, cause I took it as what the bird said while flying away.
"A point in my life when being free was my earnest expectations, when nothing else matters apart from freedom and family, and I just don't want to lose them".

Turning back to the bird I said, -I will take your coming back as "thank you so much."
