In the story, it may seem as though the birds had to make some pretty big changes. But the changes that they had to make are no greater than the changes you will have to make as you grow up.

You will go from a young child living at home, to a grade school student. Once you get that all figured out, you are in high school and then you start dating.

Start developing your own Congress to help you deal with the life changes which are sure to come your way.
