Rebecca the Least Flycatcher

This is the story of Rebecca, a least flycatcher who is not by any means the least of all birds in the Land of Terra. Rebecca is the mother of four babies and she works hard every day to feed her brood and keep them safe. She is quite different from Dickens - he can fly far away to gather food for his future eaglets while his mate watches the nest. Rebecca is alone with her babies and must gather food close to home. This makes her job more than difficult, but she will do anything for her baby birds.

You might think that there is more than enough food out there for all of the birds. You are right - there is enough, but at times it is easier for some birds to get food than others. Bugs and worms and fish are, at times, hard to catch. Rebecca gathers insects for her babies all day long, flying back and forth between her nest and Terra Forest. She cares about her babies and will do everything she can to help them grow. Perhaps flycatcher mothers and human mothers are more alike than we think …
