“No no no, dammit!”

She had seen the nest only as she was scraping out the gutters in her work gloves. The little blue eggs and their cradle of debris fell in slow motion to the driveway, and she could only watch in horror.

She climbed as fast as she could down the ladder and rushed to the nest, sinking to her knees on the concrete. Three of the eggs were fine, but the fourth… she couldn’t even look at it. She took off her gloves and gently placed the three intact eggs back in the nest while trying to figure out what to do next. Oh no, would the parents even know where to find their eggs if she moved them?

She looked around the yard for somewhere safe. Maybe a tree? Or even a tall bush? The skin under her old work shirt prickled as tiny, hollow rods sprouted beneath.

Her yard clearly wasn’t the best place for them. She’d take them to the park and figure it out from there. She placed the nest in the passenger seat and turned the key in the ignition, kicking her shoes off her suddenly aching feet. As she drove, maybe a little faster than she should have, she started feeling more and more uncomfortable in her jeans. There was something at the back of her waist, right above her butt, that was feeling weird. Her first thought at all times though was the nest.

When she arrived at the park, she moved to get out of the car, but she knew something was wrong as soon as she moved her legs. She looked down and saw they had become skinny, almost withered, her skin leathery and unnaturally brown. Her feet were even worse: Her toes had merged into two long, skinny claws, and her heel had become its own claw.

“Wha… what’s happening? Oh fuck, what’s going on?”

She got back in the car to check herself in the mirror, only to see her nose and mouth fusing into a singular, triangular shape, her nostrils migrating up to the top of the hardening beak. The prickling on her skin began again, and she looked down her shirt to see burnt orange fluff peeking out.

“Fuck fuck fuck, no! Oh fuck, I can’t… I- ”

But she looked at the nest again and knew what she had to do. Quills growing out of her arms, she gathered the nest in her hands and walked awkwardly on her bird feet away from her car.

“Gotta get them someplace safe… Gotta do this…”

The weird sensation in the back of her jeans pushed her waistband down as her spine elongated. As she walked, she bent her back down further and further with each step.

“They’ll be safe in… in a tree… away from… humans…”

Feathers sprouted from the quills: Orange on her chest and torso, light brown on her back and arms. Her dirty blonde hair fell out around her as brown feathers appeared on her changing head. Her beak mouth turned to yellow as it solidified, perfect for catching small morsels for chicks.

“I’ll get you… somewhere safe… tweet… tweet…”

Speech failed her, but her legs did not. She walked up to a beautiful birch tree with plenty of nooks high up, away from predators. She hopped up onto the bark, using her talons and beak to climb her way to about halfway up the tree, then set the nest between two branches near the trunk. Her quest fulfilled, she breathed a sigh of relief, letting out joyful chirps as her body shrank and her clothes fell away around her.

As her eyes slowly moved to the sides of her head and turned jet black, her human guilt at having hurt the nest subsided, and her avian determination to protect her remaining chicks came in full. She spread her brown wings and took to the sky to search for a meal for herself before she would begin incubating the eggs again.

The robin lighted into the air and swiftly flew away, leaving the birch with the branches draped in a pair of jeans and an old work shirt.
