Shannon was reading the boys a poem about a woodpecker and asked the question, "What other birds did God make?" The suggested answers for a student Brennan's age was redbird or bluebird.
Brennan rubs his chin, leans back in his little chair and says, "Hmmm… let me think. What other birds did God make? Penguins. Penguins don't fly but they dive deep into the cold water.
"Chickens and turkeys are birds… Pigeons and Falcons are birds… A hawk is a bird. There are many types of hawks, like the red-tailed hawk…
"Oh, and the archaeopteryx is a bird, but it's extinct."
Good job, my little documentary narrator, good job.
