The Night-Bird's Feather Quotes

“The fundamental basis of an avian reporting system is small, smooth river stones. A bird marks the completion of each assigned task by carrying the stone to its bucket; management, for the birds in charge, becomes little more than a visual scan of the buckets, which easily reveals which birds and even which task groups are ahead and which are falling behind.”
― Jenna Katerin Moran, The Night-Bird's Feather
