Morris and the Abandoned Nest

‘Call yourself a blackbird?’ they said.

Now Morris wakes to find himself alone in the nest. He’s weak and has lost the energy to chirp.

Should he trust whoever comes along? What does his mother want him to do? Does she even care?

Note for adults: All children have problems to overcome, and Morris wants to help with that. Morris’s story is a fostering story, too. ‘Allowing others to care for you takes some bravery,’ he is told. Morris’s tale brings understanding through real blackbird behaviour from the natural world.
