The Oil Damage

I swooped down in the cold breezy wind. The point of my toes tiptoed on the ice cold water.

Suddenly Bang! I was stuck in oil. A wave reached the oily feathers on my body. The waves pushed me up on to the beginning of the dry, hard, thick sand.

As I started to lift my head up I felt homeless, hopeless, petrified and disgusted. All I could hear was waves crashing and also banging on the rocks and cans. It looked like I was in a black as black town. I felt strange…
I felt different and also I felt like it was a mysterious midnight.

I went to move my leg but strangely it wouldn’t move at all. I was scared. I tried to reach out for my Mum but I could not resist the pain of moving, when suddenly this voice called “birdy, birdy birds!” A man carefully picked me up, wrapped me in a blanket and gently washed me down. In no time I was happily flying in the sky, but very carefully this time.
