The Story:

[a. human club]

[Like any fine school, St Pigeonations offers various clubs for young birds to spend their time and broaden their horizons. There is the chess club for those who enjoy an intellectual pursuit; there is the soccer club for those of a more athletic persuasion; there is probably a cooking club for those who enjoy baking some magpies.

But there is also another club.

Well, technically it is not a club. It is not exactly official or anything. But it exists.

In a dusty, disused classroom, primarily used to store broken furniture, there is a club. Or again, not really a club but more like a gathering. A gathering of like-minded birds. A place where birds of a feather can flock together, so to speak.

(Well, again not much of a gathering right now, as there is only one member of this not-exactly-a-club, but it could take off. Just watch.)

So, in this dusty old classroom, there is a house sparrow, a second year by the name of Armin Arlert. And on the door, there is a sign. It's handcrafted (aka, handwritten on a piece of printer paper) but in big letters it says:

Human Club]


[b. debate]

[It could happen to you anywhere. It might be during an English class. It might have been a wrong comment during a history class. There might not even be a class. Maybe it's out on the campus. Or in the library. In any case, and in some way, you ended up in a debate with a small house sparrow. Maybe you were playing devil's advocate. Maybe it's just an assignment. Maybe you really are a hawkist. In any case, despite his rather diminutive size and unimpressive physical appearance, Armin Arlert has a stubborn look about him, a very stubborn look and no intentions of changing his Dove party point of view.]

Comments

[The idea that Mr Sunburst went out of his way to bring books from his personal collection makes Armin feel another wave of gratitude, though it quickly sobers when he considers the rest of his words.]

That doesn't seem right. I know we share a complicated history but... it feels we should learn more than we do about people we share our world with.

I think some birds would rather just sweep it all under the rug, honestly. After all, relations between our species, before we gained out intellect wasn't always so kind. Some birds would like to pretend that never happened.

[schachmeister]

That might be true, but isn't it also true that relations between different species of bird weren't always kind either? If we keep clinging to old grudges, we can never move forward.

[bibliocorn]

I couldn't agree more young man. It's the only hope for the future- learning from our mistakes and trying to make something better. It's just a shame the masses don't tend to agree.

[schachmeister]

I wish there was a good way to get people interested in these issues. Every time I bring it up, they ignore me.

[At this point, he'd even take people disagreeing with him. At least that is a reaction he can work with. Can't work with a non-reaction.]

[bibliocorn]

Perhaps it's just a case of finding the right birds to talk to.
