The Birdman of Stewart Drive
by Sharon Hogg

---

A pigeon, a sparrow, a crossbill and a robin, Each bird needed human attention to survive and the Birdman of Stewart Drive was called into action. While the four stories I share in this book are done so in a fictitious manner, the events are true accounts. I hope that children of all ages will enjoy them, and they will spark family conversations about real-life situations, and valuable lessons will be learned.
