Mother bird is busy,

Flying from tree to tree,

Trying to find the right one,

To raise (养育) her family.

Should it be a maple, or maybe a pine?

Whichever (无论哪一个) it is, it will be just fine.

She finds one stick(树枝) and another,

And hurries back to put them together.

She sits on her eggs to keep them warm,

And hopes they don't fall during the storm.

The nest is strong and holds them well.

The babies suddenly come out from their shells (壳).

Mother bird is happy and as proud as it can be.

Now she is looking for food you see.

She feeds her babies most of the day.

They eat and eat but have no time to play.

It's time to learn to fly from the nest.

Mother bird doesn't get much rest.

The babies are so eager (渴望的) to fly,

But sad to tell their mother, goodbye.
