Chapter 5

From her bedroom window, Princess Half Moon can watch the birds coming and going to the tree branch of the Large Oak Tree in the yard. The birds would fly to and from so quickly and never stay long enough on a branch so the children could get a good look at them. Snake Eye had an idea to hang a birdfeeder from the branch and then they could watch the birds longer. They found a birdfeeder in the basement and they filled it up with seeds and peanut butter. Birds love to eat peanut butter. Snake Eye climbed the tree and tied the feeder to a sturdy branch. Soon more and more birds came to eat and they stayed longer and longer. Princess Half Moon whistled a bird song and she named the one little bluebird, that noticed, Chico. Chico came every day and Princess Half Moon made sure that the birdfeeder was always full of food. Snake Eye always made sure the rope holding the birdfeeder had a good knot so as to keep it in the tree.
