BIRD Family Tree
Welcome to the BIRD Chronicles
“We exist because of our ancestors, let’s try not to forget them”
"That’s a beautiful and profound statement. Our ancestors’ experiences, struggles, and achievements have shaped the world we live in today. It’s important to honor and remember them, as they are a part of our history and identity”
