    Bird Love
    Wild birds are to be seen in our district. Especially the swallow, thrush, robin and cuckoo.The cuckoo and the swallow migrate to warmer countries. Every bird builds her own nest except the cuckoo. The swallow builds her nest in a cow house or stable.The thrush builds her nest on a low fence.The robin builds her nest in a shady palce in the fence.
    Each bird sits upon her eggs for atleast three weeks. Young boys who rob birds nests will get stabs on
