(Let's not get too violent with this please. There may be younger members looking at this, too.
I actually saw an animal documentary that included the Kagu. They are so neat!)
Nightwhisper hissed at Phoenix, trying to comprehend what had just happened. She started to tend to her wing.
I need to get some water on this wound. Nightwhisper spotted a large puddle of water below her and stumbled down to it. The water made Nightwhisper's wound sting, but she knew it was helping. She gazed around as she soaked her wing, seeing other birds wake to the new day.
I did nothing to provoke that eagle, so why did she attack? And when she did, I felt frozen, like I couldn't move...Nightwhisper pondered to herself.
Shadow and Summer gazed at the big birds flying and screeching about for a moment, then flew up to the Kagu. "We know where there is a large black raspberry patch full of ripe berries, Mist. Follow us!" Both catbirds fluttered to a nearby thorny patch with glistening, dew-covered, dark purple berries, free for the picking. Shadow grabbed a plump blackberry and swallowed the whole thing, purple juice soaking his beak.
