What reading level is Birds And the War book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

The roar of the guns was, to the birds, presumably no more than thunder, and when a shell fell near them it was only some new, if startling, natural phenomenon (Bird Notes and News, vol. Vii. P. 14). Possibly they became callous 106 Birds on the Western Front to the uproar of the fighting-line, because they quickly realised that the destruction was not loosed upon themselves (Dailty Mail, ii. Vi. I7). Indeed, one ornithologist was of opinion that birds preferred the noise of battle to the treac...herous quiet of peace, when the inhabitants of the countryside have plenty of time to hunt and otherwise annoy them. M. Reboussin has recorded the numbers of birds seen and heard to the north-west of Verdun, notwithstanding the constant artil- lery duels going on day and night (Revue Fran$aise d'Ornithologie, November 1916, pp. 81-92); and Dr. Arthur Allan, of Cornell University, speaking at a meeting of the American Ornithologists' Union at Phila- delphia in 1916, stated that: "A doctor, attached to an ambulance corps in France, had counted thirty-five species of birds that had built nests in ruins of buildings and trenches abandoned by inhabitants and troops.
