    Bird Lore.
    A bird is one of the humblest creatures in the world. There are many different birds namely, robin red breast, sparrow, thrush, yellow hammer, canary, goldfinch, rooks and magpies.
    The rooks build their nests in the trees. Then they hatch their young ones in the nest.
    The robin builds its nest in a bush. People said it was the blood pf our Lord that fell on the robin.
    The thrush builds her nest in the trees. When swallows fly low it is the sign of rain.
