The other birds, who were colored red, yellow, blue, and green, were so envious that they begged Blackbird to paint their feathers with a touch of black so they could be beautiful too. Although Black-bird warns them that true beauty comes from within, the other birds persist and soon each is given a ring of black around their neck or a dot of black on their wings--markings that detail birds to this very day.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAshley Bryan (1923-2022) grew up to the sound of his mother singing from morning to night, and he shared the joy of song with children.
