Robin's First Flight  Robin was a little baby bird who was born only 6 weeks before.  Her mother took care of her and her brothers and sister by feeding them bugs and worms.  Robin had 2 brothers.  She also had one sister.  During this time, Robin grew and grew and got stronger and stronger.  Her feathers got longer, too.    The day had finally come when mother bird told Robin and her brothers and sister that they would be learning to fly for the first time.  Chirps of joy were heard from all the baby birds.  All except for Robin.  She was too afraid to fly out into the world.  She wanted to stay in her comfy nest with all of her family for the rest of her life.  She also wanted her mother to feed her for the rest of her life. Mother bird told Robin how exciting it was to fly and see all the beautiful flowers and trees and told her she would help her learn like she did when she was a baby bird. She told her that she would meet lots of other bird friends, too.   So Robin tried not to be scared, even as she saw both of her brothers and sister fly off the nest and out into the world.  They looked so happy.  Then it was her turn.  She spread her wings, closed her eyes and jumped out of the nest.  After a few seconds, she opened her eyes to see that she was actually flying.  Oh happy day!  It was everything her mother said it would be.  The world looked so big and Robin couldn't wait to see it all. How come baby bird have didn't want to leave the nest?
She wasn't done growing and was scared of cats. She was scared of falling to the ground and that she would make friends. She would miss her mother and was nervous she wouldn't find any food on her own. She wanted to stay with her family and have her mother feed her for the rest of her life.
