What reading level is A Familiar History of Birds book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
* At Dunham, near Altrincham, in Cheshire, the seat of the Earl of Stamford, there is a heronry, which has existed for many years. It happened, about the latter end of March, or beginning of April, a few years ago, that a gentleman, riding along the turnpike-road, saw, in a small field, about a mile from the trees where the birds breed, about thirty-five or forty standing on the ground, and occasionally moving slowly in various directions. At first he was uncertain what birds they were, as thei...r heads were thrown back, and they appeared little raised from the ground ; but on approaching the spot, he was soon satisfied that they were Herons. His presence, however, had no other effect (though in general they are remarkably shy and cautious) than inducing those nearest the hedge, where he had stationed himself to watch their motions, to walk leisurely to a more distant part of the field. He remained for some time a spectator of their sin- gular assemblage, which impressed him with the opinion that it was a deliberate council ; and we agree with him that in this case, at least, though not in the preceding, which occurred in the Autumn, their object was connected with the usual pairing, which takes place about that time.
