The birds always flew by at sunset. The silver haired lady noticed that they seem to be searching for food. She put out a trash can lid full of seed in her yard. One evening the birds began to swoop in one by one. Finally the birds began to land and eat the seed in the trash can lid. The silver haired lady fed the birds each day and waited for them to fly in. Once they started eating, she would go to bed. After some time she noticed most of the food from the night before remained uneaten. Each night there was one less bird than the night before, until finally only one bird landed to eat. That night the silver haired lady stayed up to watch the bird eat. While the bird ate, she noticed a shadow at the edge of the flower beds near the trash can lid. When she looked back to the bird she watched her plump cat pounce and carry the bird off, flapping one wing in the air. A pile of seed sat uneaten in the trash can lid.
