What reading level is The Birds of Burma book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This is, I suppose, one of the most striking of the many unfamiliar birds one first sees on arrival in the East, as it is present in every bit of scenery, being found alike around houses and in the jungles. It lives entirely on insects, capturing its prey by making swoops from some prominent position, whether the branch of a tree, tele- graph wire, or the back of a buffalo, generally returning to its original perch.
They are plucky birds and at the same time great bullys as they attack indiscri...minately any bird which they may think intrude on their own particular preserves. It is a pleasing sight to watch a pair attacking or hunting a crow which may have ventured too near their nest, made himself objectionable in some way or other. The crow may at first object to move on, as clearly ordered by the angry language of the king-crows ; he very soon has, however, to take refuge either in a tree or on the ground. And then the fun begins, each king-crow sweeps down alternately with a shrill scream, trying to get a peck, at some unprotected portion of the crow's body; the latter with head thrown back and beak open at first tries to dodge each attack, but it soon becomes too hot for him, and he has to beat a hasty retreat.
