What reading level is Birds in London book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The greenfinch and (I believe) the wren have vanished. The decrease of the chaffinch is most regretted by the East- enders, who have an extraordinary admiration for that bird. Bird fanciers are very numerous in the East, and the gay chaffinch is to them the first of the feathered race ; in fact, it may be said that he is first and the others nowhere. Now the value of the chaffinch to the bird fancier depends on his song on the bird's readi- ness to sing when his music is wanted, and the qualiti...es of his notes, their strength, spirit, and wildness. In the captive state the song 198 BIRDS IN LONDON deteriorates unless the captive is frequently made to hear and sing against a wild bird. At these musical contests the caged bird catches and retains something of the fine passion and brilliancy of his wild antagonist, and the more often he is given such a lesson the better will it be for its owner, who may get twenty to fifty shillings, and sometimes much more, for a good singer. Victoria Park was the only accessible place to most of the East-enders who keep chaffinches for singing-matches and for profit, to which their birds could be taken to get the necessary practice.
