Citizen Bird

CHAPTER XVI
3/44

But when one of the Finch family eats berries, it is for the seed or pit inside the pulp.

His strong beak cracks the seed and his stomach digests its kernel.

So these birds do not _sow_ the seeds they eat, but _destroy_ them.

This is why I call them Weed Warriors.

A warrior is any one who goes to war, and fights against enemies; we have enemies among plants, and these birds fight for us against them.
