I would kill a bird for a churro.......and for a Klondike bar. I like Cats better than birds :P

Do you know why this bird is crying?
This bird just found his mother dead on the sidewalk. She was trying to steal food, a churro, for her starving chicks. She was starved and so hungry, but she was selfless, and only cared that her chicks were safe, happy, and fed.
He loved his mother. She was the greatest mother any bird could have, and she loved her chicks more than anything else in the whole world. He buried her, and gave her a proper funeral.
Now this bird is alone. He cared for his younger brothers and sisters, but he couldn't replace his mother. He couldn't find enough food for all of them. The rest of his brothers and sisters starved to death when the cold winter came, and he buried them next to their mother. "I'm so sorry mother," he'd say to her gravestone, "I tried my best, but it wasn't good enough". Before he'd leave his mother's grave, he'd always say that he loved her, and that she is the best mother in the world.
He barely survived the winter.
Spring came, and now he spends his days, alone, sad, crying most of the time, and eating scraps left behind at the town park, barely getting by. The other birds around are singing their mating calls, but not him. He is too skinny, ugly, dirty, and sad. No girl bird would ever want him, so he doesnt bother to try. All the other birds think he's weird and avoid him, so he doesn't have any friends; nobody likes him.
Years pass, and still the image of his mother, dead and mangled on the sidewalk haunts his mind. He never finds peace.
One summer morning, he is awoken by the chirps of baby birds a few trees over.He watches their mother return every half hour to care for them. He is reminded of his mother, and his siblings lost those many years ago.
It isn't long before he loses all hope. He has lost everything he's ever cared about. His brothers and sisters, his mother, his chance of finding a mate; but nothing matters anymore.
So he flies back to that old tree. He climbs to the highest branch where his mother's nest was, where he was born. As he looks out across the park, a single tear rolls down his face. As the sun sets, he whispers to himself: "I love you mom. I love you my brothers and sisters. I'll see you all very soon.". He closes his eyes, and leans forward. He falls, and doesn't open his wings to catch himself.
