Saying "abandoning" is pretty harsh and not the way I would phrase it all. As a mother should, she was raising her children and preparing them for the real world, all while the story promoted individuality for both kids and how they grew to where they are now. While initially the most animalistic of the two, the daughter grew to enjoy social interaction with other humans, even developing romantic feelings for once which caused to her to accept that side of her person more. On the other side, you had the once timid boy who was ashamed of what he was accept his animalistic side while sharing his love with nature and all the species intertwined within it. At the end of the film comes acceptance between all of this and having the little chicks she has had in her nest fly off into the real world on their own, as it should be with other family members. Both children still love their mother and it's not like they ever plan on not visiting her. As seen through the film as well, she's a strong independent woman who's capable of taking care of herself and will always have the townspeople help her whenever she's in need.

So yeah, I would totally recommend the movie and I found the ending to be incredibly fitting and touching at the same time.
