Some time ago, a elder lady, maybe 60, was walking across the street. A clumsy driver was going over the speed limit and almost hit the lady! Luckily a young man named Theodore saved her just in the nick of time!

The elder lady thanks him and tells him she has been working on a cure for a bird disease and asks him, “Will you help me with this cure? These old bones don’t go as they go.”

The man happily obliged, “Of course ma’am!” After a few months they found the cure and millions of millions of birds have been saved! Which is why I have made this monument to celebrate the cure!

To make this monument, I started with the fundings. I told this story to the government and they happily obliged to! We did use donations as well, but the government paid the rest. Then, I made a model, I wanted the model to look like an owl, the one who has been the most cured. The model was a foot tall, and we wanted every inch was to be 10 feet. So on the model the eye was an inch long, so on the mountain was 10 feet long. We knew we wanted to monument on the California mountain near the forest and waterfall and we already measured, It fits perfectly! Then, we had to mark the mountain with red paint to get the access rock out of the way. We hired an expert to help with the explosives. After we marked every thing, it was time to explode! It went as smooth as butter! After that we added some finishing touches with jackhammers and drillers. And finally, after 5 years and half a million dollars, it was finished!

Today is the celebration of the cure and the monument. It has been a decade and some people still love to visit. Each year 500 people come and look at the monument. I have heard it has inspired many others to make their own, and I am very, very happy, each and every day.
