  1. Bird-Lore

    Share Share Post
    The wild birds which ae commonly found in this district are crows. These birds build there nest on very high trees. The nest is very well constructed and contains two eggs of a pale blue colour. The weather is judged by the behaviour of these birds in the summer evernings. The crows migrate to other countries and are great help to farmers. Any person who shoots them in the trees where they build will meet with some misfortune.
