Last night I received a powerpoint presentation showing how after about 30 years eagle's beaks begin to curl and their feathers begin to wear. Then they go to a rock, bang their beak on it until it breaks off and grows back new, and then they pluck the feathers and those grow back until they are also like new.
I found this to be very moving, and so I ended up writing a short story and posted it on our site. I think it's easily the best story I've ever written (albeit I haven't written many), but I really felt passionate about writing it and it felt very natural.
I have realized that I don't do well writing from scratch, but if I have something true I can add a little fiction around, then I can really get into it.
(today I found out that information about eagle's might not be true, but it doesn't change the beauty of the story)
Anyway, I'm wondering if I have a knack for this kind of writing and was wondering if any of you knew of similar kinds of "wow... some of the things these animals do is so amazing!" stories.
We all know about mating for life or migrations or hibernations... but do you know of any other really cool stuff like the above about the eagles?
