The Battle In The Hills part 5

     "Koo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-kaa-kaa-kaa-kaa-kaa-ha-haaa"
     Two families of kookaburras were battling. A kookaburra perhaps too young to fight flew into conflict.
     They were making a huge sound close to a house.
     A window opened. A hand reached out and threw a rolled-up newspaper at the kookaburras. They scattered.
     The kookaburras were softly chattering:
     "Did you get hit by it?"
     "Are you hurt?"
     "I knew it. We should have invaded the territory of the Dumeni family. They might be better at fighting, but they have more food, and they don't live close to humans."
     "Irind. Where's Irind?"
     No one had been hit by the newspaper. All of the kookaburras had flown away just in time. This had put an end to the fight, but all of the kookaburras were either bruised or their feathers had been pulled and ruffled up.
     The Jineik family inspected their injuries. Oitar, a mother of four eggs, noticed that one of the elders had a cut over the brown stripe across her head that made the top part of his beak not blue, but a velvet shade of purple. The father of Oitar's eggs had a cut in the same place, but it was not dripping over his beak. The bottom part of his beak stayed bone white.
     Another kookaburra had been pecked in his eye and couldn't see, his tears so thick that no one could see the familiar brown of his eyes. He also had a cut in his left wing, and blood was flowing down the white and dark brown of his wings and the blue specks of his wings. All of the rest were less injured. Ohyr, one of the elders, had feathers so messed up that the bars of brown on his tail were impossible to see. 
    Both families flew back to their hunting grounds. Oitar went to hunt for snakes on a stretch of flat rocks that was so windy flying took too much energy, and she just hunted close to the forest.
     After a lot of time passed and she couldn't find anything, she was about to ask Oarn, the youngest son of Ohyr, to help her hunt. But then she noticed something:
     Oarn...was missing.
