Title: In A Time Of Famine
It was the 10th month in the same year that famine had hit the land of Pluto. The streams went dry and the fruits dried up. The only choice left for the birds in Pluto was to travel miles in search of a land where the famine wasn't severe. The fear of hunters hindered them from taking this trip
"Our chances of survival are rare, it's better to die of starvation than to be brought down by the Hunter's bullet" the king had said during the discussion and this brought fear upon them except for Reco who was determined not to die of hunger.
The following morning Reco traveled miles until he found a land where the plantations had flaccid plantains. No hunter seemed to lurk around the place, nor were human habitation nearby. Reco mounted a nest there , happy to have found a place with plantains he could feed on, and this place became his new home.
Inviting @emreal @iyimoga . I believe you'll like to participate in this short story contest.
Sweet ending. And excellent message for readers @dwixer
Thank You fam.
When we choose not to give up, opportunities will be forced to open up into us. Reco was a brave guy, kudus to him.
Thanks for the tag boss
Bravery often pays at the end
That's for sure daddy
Good message. Not giving up allowed Reco to find a home with enough food and survive.

Yeah, there's always a reward for bravery
Hello, here is my story.
Title: "Alfredito and the cranes".
Alfredito was a sunbird who lived in a tropical coastal town, with a lot of diversity of flora and fauna. In this one you could walk from a lush, cloudy and humid jungle to a desert with lots of sun and beach. Its food source was mainly flower nectar, and it also ate the occasional insect.
From the top of the bushes and other plants he could see the beach.
One day he was on the flowers of a banana plant furtively sipping nectar, turning around and perching on a leaf to rest from time to time. There he thought: "fortunately I can feed on nectar in the same position that the bats taught me. The cranes, on the other hand, look at the sea with hunched shoulders thinking that the water is still too cold to go hunting, poor things, I wouldn't want to be in their shoes".
Thus, without knowing with certainty the reason for the inaction of those long-legged white seabirds, he continued to live his happy life, from flower to flower, sometimes making holes to reach the calyx faster without passing through the stamens, that is, without paying.
Thank you very much @wrestlingdesires and other members of Feathered friends for giving me the joy of participating in this beautiful contest. I invite @nurul-uli, @matadonya and @wenggo, to encourage them to do it too.
Alfredito has a happy life because he loves what he does. I love that message.
It's very nice your story @elentogheter🍃

Dudu bird and banana island🌸
For many, in a forest, a small family of Sol birds got up every morning to roam the landscape in search of the rich nectar of the flowers and share their food with each other. However, one day something very strange began to happen to all the flowers in the region, and they began to dry up as if a curse had fallen upon them. All that tragedy saddened the birds, especially little Dudu, the most adventurous young bird in the family.
When Dudu looked at what was happening, he wanted to make jokes about it; however, nothing he did caused smiles. On the contrary, his attitude annoyed his father, who flapped his wings and with a loud voice expelled him from that region. It tore Dudu's heart out, his own father had turned his back on him, just because he did not know how to measure his comments. Sad and lonely, it was something his flight as far as possible, with a lot of discomfort. That flight made him realize what a terrible thing happened to flowers.
As she reached one of the flowers, she noticed a bee fluttering near her, making a loud sound like a call. It was the queen of a honeycomb, calling her army to look elsewhere. That spectacle attracted the attention of Dudu, who curiously went out after that army. The buzzing of the bees could be heard far away, all of them were joyfully singing a song, it seemed that they were not afraid of what was happening.
The queen bee noticed the pursuit of the little bird and ordered her bees to make a barrier for the Dudu, just to talk to him.
The bee noticed that the bird was unaccompanied, so she decided to accept his company, asking the bees to keep the peace between them and Dudu.
After a long flight, Dudu realized that the bees were going to an island full of wild fruits and orchids, surrounded by rivers and dense jungle.
Dudu was amazed, he had never seen such a garden, although his heart was pounding with fear, he went down and found a delicacy in a banana plant, where a juicy liquid showed up, it was Nectar that came out, there he did not have to open holes to take it out as in other flowers, just with his beak was enough to savor this new gift of nature.
Dudu traveled home, a little frightened by what his father had told him. When he arrived home, his father hugged him and asked him to forgive him for that day. He cried hugging him, bringing the good news.
The birds did not doubt him, they all took flight until they themselves saw the wonderful banana island, a home for all.
Dudu, grateful to his father, understood that sometimes there are situations that move us to a better place. That staying stuck in pain doesn't let you see the opportunities that pass in front of you like bees. Getting out of comfort is painful, momentary, but it pushes us to risk taking new challenges.
That adventure of Dudu the bird brought joy to his family, an island full of nectar.
