The Beynon Migratorius

A writing exercise I did a few months ago required me to create myself as a bird. Describe it, name it, etc. I thought today I would share the outcome of that exercise:

The Beynon Migratorius

This rare species of flightless bird is one that migrates on foot rather than by flight, just because it is NOT the easier of the two options. This green hued bird is known for its beautiful, well kept nest. In fact, it has been known to maintain more than one nest at a time, each thousands of miles away from the other.

This resilient bird survives on a steady diet of the challenges of life. She chokes down loneliness, frustration and exhaustion. She dines on diversions, detours, and dumb protocols. Truly one of the most well fed creatures of all time.

This bird is smart and her best line of defense against predators is her wit, determination, adaptability and resourcefulness. She's not the most beautiful bird, and in fact, tends to appear frazzled most of the time. However she is damn near impossible to kill. No one has succeeded yet anyway.
