What reading level is The Birds of the Air book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The cry of the Peacock, at other times, is often repeated and very disagreeable. The plumes are shed every year, and, while moulting them, the bird, as if humiliated, retires from view.
The Peahen is somewhat less than the male, and though furnished both with a train and crest, is destitute of those dazzling beauties which distinguish her consort.
THE PINTADO, OR GUINEA FOWL.
THIS bird is originally a native of Africa, but has been long naturalized in this country, and is considered as a delica...cy. It is about the size of a common hen, but, being supported on longer legs, it looks much larger. Its head is covered with a kind of helmet ; the back is round ; and the tail turned downward, like that of a partridge. The whole plumage is black, or dark gray, diversified with white spots ; and the wattles, proceeding from the upper chap, give it a very peculiar aspect. All their habits resemble those of the poultry kind, and they agree in every other respect, except that the sex can only be distinguished by the colour of the wattles ; those of the male being of a blu- ish cast, while in the female they are more in- clining to red.
