Glossy Black Cockatoo

I wake up to the amazing sunshine glistening on my black feathers,
I hear the other birds singing my favourite song,
I join in,
I feel the crunch of dried leaves under my claws,
I suddenly smell smoke,
I feel so nervous,
I see a black thick cloud forming above me,
I quickly scatter away before it is too late,
I feel the cloak of smoke around me and I start to feel frightened,
I fly back and then I realise that my home has been destroyed.
