Birds always have to be careful when flying around campus for one big reason. Construction. It is constantly happening. Which means there are constantly new objects to avoid running to. Cranes. Trucks. New buildings. And so much more. Birds always have to be alert when they’re flying around. However, one bird, the Hawk got caught up in nature and didn’t pay attention to the fact that humans had taken over. A few years ago, after being away for a week or two he flew back on to campus feeling relaxed and brand new. But then, something hit him. A new building. He flew straight into it and injured his wing. At first he was furious. “Why do these people think that they can always put me in danger like this?” He was rightfully upset. New buildings usually took up more space and less greenery. It meant more energy would be used. And it meant that more people would be coming to campus. Furious, he went to his friends and asked them why this new building was here and what damage it had caused. However his friends said that the building was nothing bad. In fact, they said, it was the exact opposite. The building was one of the most sustainable buildings on campus. It used less energy than usual, and had won a bunch of awards for its energy saving efforts. The other birds told him, “You just hate it because you ran into it. You hit the building, the building didn’t hurt you.” lls.net/look-bird-hd-wallpaper/
