The eagle gently nudges her offspring toward the edge of the nest, feeling their resistance to leaving. She knows it is time for them to learn to fly, despite her fears. Her parental duties are almost complete, with one final task remaining - giving them a push from the nest. The eagle finds courage in the knowledge that until her children learn to use their wings, they will not understand the privilege of being eagles. Pushing them from the nest, though scary, is the greatest gift she can give and her final act of love for them. One by one, she pushes them from the nest and they learn to fly.
