1.      Read the text and do the activities that follow.

The song of many birds seems beautiful to us. That is why it is called song, for it reminds us of human song. We do not know birds themselves consider their song beautiful, although we to believe that they do. What birds feel we will never know because they have no means of telling us.  But we do not know other things about birdsong.

If we watch a male bird-song, such as a nightingale early in the morning in early spring, just after it has arrived from its winter quarters, we shall notice that it is alone and has not yet got a mate. It spends most of its time singing. If we watch closely, we will see that while it sings it looks continually round in all directions. It is clearly very much on the alert.
