Woman on an island, day 21

It's a beautiful sunny morning and I wake up to the sound of birds singing. My mood is immediately lifted and I forget for a short while of my injuries. I grab my spear and I head out into the jungle, I want to see if I can find some fruit and some herbs. I won't be able to catch anything moving at the moment. After a short while I spot some strange birds nesting on the ground...I've never seen the like. White, short and fat...I start drooling as I reach for my slingshot...just stand still..it will be over soon. I load my slingshot and I step out from behind a tree and I let the stone go! It hits the bird barely and it flees into the jungle, the rest of the birds hop away quickly. I walk closer...what's this laying here on the ground...eggs!!
