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.
