To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" Very curious are the habits of the cuckoo. Unlike most other birds, they do not pair ; you all know, too, that cuckoos make no nests, but lay their eggs one by one in the nests of various other birds, such as those of the hedge-warbler, or hedge-sparrow as it is generally but wrongly called, robin, white- throat, and other birds. It is probable that the same cuckoo does not go twice to the same nest to deposit her egg. What a curious exception is the case of the cuckoo to the instinctive love... of their offspring ob- servable in almost all birds ! After the eggs are laid the parent bird has no further trouble with them ; no period of incubation to bare the breast of the brooding bird; no anxiety about her young ones, as some idle, wanton lad hunts amongst the trees and bushes, destroys both nest and eggs, or tortures the helpless fledglings! "But, papa, " said Willy, "how does it happen that the young birds hatched in the same nest with the young cuckoo always get turned out of it. " The cuckoo, being much the larger and heavier bird, fills up the greater part of the nest, consequently the smaller fledgling companions get placed on the sides of the nest, 58 Country Walks of a Naturalist.
