Miracle of Life Gone Awry

Lawn and woodland creatures all over Maxon Corners are expressing shock and dismay over the disappearance of Mother Robin and the death of her four young chicks. The chicks were just 8 days old.

“I swooped over the deck early this morning, you know, just to forage by the rose bushes,” said Jason A. Finch, 2. “It seemed too quiet. So I checked the Robin nest… and they were all dead.”

Woodland police say they suspect foul play, but they have no solid leads.

When questioned by this reporter, the orange stray tabby living in the cellar denied killing Mother Robin.

“Don’t you think that if — and that’s a really big if — I killed Mother Robin, I would have eaten her four helpless, tender, juicy, delicious chicks? But instead, there they are, just lying in the nest, going to waste. That’s not my style,” he said.

Police have also questioned the Red-tailed Hawk, but he could not be reached for comment as of publication.

Funeral arrangements will be provided by Maxon Landscaping, and burial will be in the garden.
