Here is my entry for the 2024 #springflingkidlit contest. I created a gif using a photo I took this week of some baby bluebirds in our yard. The contest rules require you to write a story with 150 words or less using a gif that represents spring! Go to Ciara's blog to find out more and read all of the amazing entries!



The Bluebird Buddies

By Macy Lane


There’s a birdhouse in our backyard.

I built it with Papa last summer before he died.

He cut the wood and let me hammer in the nails.

“Made by Papa and Kai. the bluebird buddies”  


If I stand on my tippy toes I can see right through our birdhouse door.

Yesterday, I peeked and saw three baby bluebirds huddled in a nest!

Their beaks were pointed towards the sky as they cried for food.

Above me, Mama Bluebird sat on a wire watching my every move.

Daddy Bluebird swooped in and landed next to Mama.

“Don’t worry!” I whispered. “I’m a friend.”


I stepped back. 

Standing still and quiet, I watched as Mama flew, worm wiggling in her beak, right into our birdhouse! 

Well, I suppose it’s their house now.

Oh, how I wish my bluebird buddy was still here.

He’d love the story of our birds.
