Swordbird is by Nancy Yi Fan, a very fluent author. Nancy was only 12 when she wrote the book. She makes it so you can taste the food, hear the music, and picture the birds.  You can also picture every single movement of the creatures.

The robins and bluejays turn against each other because they think that each other are stealing things, so they go to a bloody war.  The only way for them to be friends again is to summon the magical swordbird.  A bluejay and robin have to go on a risky quest, putting their lives in danger.
