Bird Thoughts

Summary

The narrative follows the perspective of a bird describing its evolving understanding of the world as it grows and explores beyond its initial surroundings. Initially, the bird perceives the world as a small, round environment made of a pale blue shell, symbolizing its time in an egg. After moving out to a nest, it then believes the world is made of straw, with its mother as its caretaker. Upon deciding to explore beyond the nest, the bird discovers a broader and more complex world than it had imagined, initially believing it to be made of leaves and eventually realizing that it does not fully understand the world’s vastness. This story conveys themes of growth, exploration, and the ever-expanding horizons of knowledge as one gains new experiences.

I used to live in a small house and I thought the world was small and round, made of pale blue shell. I was happy living there, but eventually, I moved to a little nest. I thought the world was made of straw and that my mother took care of it.

One day, I decided to leave the nest and see what else was out there. I flew beyond the tree and saw that the world was actually made of leaves. I had been so wrong about the world before. As I flew further and further, I saw more and more new things, and eventually, I wasn’t sure how the world was made. None of my neighbors seemed to know either.
