Twinkle Flies Away

Once upon a day in May 2010, Tito Aumar brought home a little bird he found at the school campus where he works. The bird cannot fly because there was a gap in his left wing. Everybody welcomed the little bird as a new pet at home, and named him Twinkle. Kristian fed him water daily, Chloe gave him rice, Tito Aumar even bought a small can of worms. Makit, who constantly looked after him, also fed him fish and corned beef. He frequently chirped back as if in conversation with Doc Chuck. He eventually learned to fly, albeit very low and only in short distances. He usually stayed in the laundry area, sometimes flying in and out of the kitchen, or just inside the house. We were all fond of him. We thought he'd never survive outside with the other birds because of the things we're feeding him.

But on June 19, he surprised everybody. He flew away with the other birds. So to Twinkle, cheers to your freedom. You can come back anytime to eat fish and corned beef with us.
