One day, Carl had an exciting surprise for Autumn.
He didn’t come alone this time; he brought along his family to meet his trusted human friend.
Carl introduced her to his mate, Carla, and their charming little offspring, Junior.
Junior’s playful antics quickly won over Autumn’s heart, especially when Carl started teaching Junior how to knock on the door, just like he had been doing for months.
As the seasons passed, Junior grew up and eventually set off on his own adventures.
But life didn’t stop for Carl and Carla.
They soon welcomed a new set of babies – twin crane chicks named Kevin and Kyle.
Carl, ever the proud father, brought his new babies to meet Autumn, chest puffed out in pride.
Autumn was once again charmed by Carl’s gesture and delighted to see the little family growing.
However, not all moments were filled with joy.
One morning, tragedy struck when Kyle, one of the twins, had an accident.
Autumn tried her best to save him by calling the Raptor Center of Tampa Bay, but sadly, Kyle didn’t survive.
The loss was felt deeply, not just by Carl and his mate but by Autumn too.
She had grown attached to the family and grieved alongside them.
