Then, one day, everything changes: lured in by a blueberry muffin, he is captured and brought to live in a cage in a Human Nest. As the days turn into weeks, Éclair and his captor, the Handkerchief Woman, forge an unlikely bond-and he slowly, reluctantly adapts to life away from the open skies. But, just as Éclair has begun to accept, and even embrace his new life, everything changes yet again.
