Father and son, they can get along with birds, but they can't talk to each other.
One was a father who ran away from his family in the dead of night and later had a jackdaw that he raised as a child.
One was a son who pondered why his father was absent, raised the little magpie, which fell out of its nest and nearly died.
Their lives were changed forever.
