One of them made the leap, chirping, circling the little balcony forest like she’s been waiting her whole life for this moment.
And the other?
Sis was frozen in place like, “Respectfully, I’ll be over here processing this moment.”
The chirping started early this afternoon and hasn’t stopped since. I can hear her from the other room, practically yelling her own name, staking her claim.
She is so loud, and honestly? It’s definitely joy. I can only imagine what that may feel like, to all of a sudden have wings? To realize you can actually take flight?
I tried to catch it on camera, sliding the screen door open like I was sneaking up on magic.
The good camera was too far. The iPhone did its best.
But even if nothing came out clear, I was lucky enough to witness it.
She found her wings.
Only a matter of days? A week before they both venture out and away?
And I?
I held time for her mid-air celebration… it only happens, once?!
and, it felt like she wanted me to see her. Do you pick up on that energy in the video?
Like her first flight wasn’t just hers, it was ours.
Bonus crooked cam shot: momma clocks the cam
They were just about at this stage when momma was feeding them on this day
