I remember reading a short story when I was in high school, it was only a few pages long, it was in one of our English books. The main characters were a boy and his little brother. In the story, a bird flies into their window, killing itself. They discover that the bird was not indigenous to the area and had no business being there. Later, the little brother dies, he had health problems if I remember correctly. That is about all I remember, maybe someone here has read it and can tell me what the name of the story was.

Thank You! Been trying to track down that story for years.
