Fifteenth Annual Reading Rainbow Contest

Backyard Safari

He noticed the birds singing in the bushes nearby. Stealthily, he snuck up to the twittering flock. "Parrots feeding off of exotic fruits," he thought. He took a picture. He ran back to the house and retrieved a piece of toast. Crumbling a few brown crumbs into his hand, he walked as near to the bushes as he dared, held out his hand and stood still as a statue. Soon some of the birds started to approach timidly. Patiently, Jamie stayed still. Suddenly, one of the braver animals flew up and snatched a crumb from his hand. When Jamie was out of breadcrumbs he walked on.
