    She eats grubs and worms. She stays on the eggs for three weeks. Her colour is brown, and she is a lovely singer. She has a very small bill. She stays here all the year round. She is very wild and you could not catch her.
    She makes her nest very round and it is very big inside because she has such a big family.
