The Bird Who Didn’t Know Its Identity

This tale of the bird that doesn’t know its identity is about a humble but passionate goatherd who lived in the middle of no man’s land. It rained very little for a year. He was worried because the grass wasn’t growing, so the goats had nothing to eat.

The goat farmer knew there was a mountain nearby, so he decided to climb to the top with his goats. He thought there would be grass there, because of the humidity.

Very early in the morning he started his journey to the top of the mountain. When he finally got there, he saw that there was enough grass for all the goats. However, when he returned home, he noticed something.

There was a small eagle’s nest on a cliff. He hated eagles because they had attacked his chickens in the past. However, the man was curious, so he decided to take a closer look.

In the nest there were two eagle chicks. However, one of them was dead. It looked as if the nest had fallen from a high place and the poor bird did not survive the blow. The other eagle was wounded and barely breathing. According to this identity story, the goatherd felt sorry and decided to take the bird home.

The impact of caring for the bird

The goatherd healed the bird’s wounds with great patience. He fed him and took care of him. He thought the bird was too small to let him go, so he kept it with him for a while. As the bird grew, the man began to worry. He didn’t want the animal to attack his goats or chickens.

When the bird became an adult eagle, the shepherd decided it was time to let him go. For example, one morning he took the animal to an open field so that it could fly far away.

To his surprise, the animal started following him home. Again the man took pity and took him back. He tried for a few days to get the bird to fly away again, but he again found his way back to the goatherd’s house. The eagle couldn’t fly well, so it kept bouncing back and forth.

The bird seemed very attached to him, so the good man gave up on letting him go. He just took him to the chicken coop. The chickens were very scared when they saw the eagle, but soon enough they realized he was no threat, so they treated him as one of their group.

A strange visitor

Time passed and the eagle behaved just like any other chicken. He even learned to cluck like her, and the shepherd treated the bird like a chicken too.

However, then a bird expert showed up on the farm. The expert was walking carelessly and he was very surprised at what he saw: an eagle cackling and alive with chickens!

The expert then found the goatherd and asked him to explain the strange phenomenon. The humble man told him the whole story and explained that to him the eagle was just like any other chicken.

However, the expert disagreed. Every animal has its essence, he said, so it’s impossible for the eagle to simply forget what it really is. He asked the goatherd for permission to prove his theory and the goatherd accepted his proposal.

A story about identity

The expert offered the eagle some meat, but the bird declined. He preferred to eat worms and corn. The eagle seemed to be disgusted by meat. For example, the expert went up a ladder with the animal and threw it into the air.

He expected the bird to fly, but to his surprise, the eagle fell and was injured. After several days of thinking about what to do, he looked at the mountain and decided it was necessary to go back to where it all started.

The next day, the expert took the eagle to the cliff where the shepherd had found it. When he arrived, the animal looked a little uncomfortable. However, the man waited a while and thought that at any moment the animal would regain its true essence.

He waited all night. Then came a new day. The eagle was still uncomfortable, not wanting the sun’s rays to disturb him. Realizing this, the scientist took the bird by the neck and forced it to look at the sun.

Then the eagle freed itself from the man’s hands, clearly irritated by what he was doing. He spread his wings and started flying to get away from the man.
