To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He may feast on it there and then ; or he may fly off with it to share it with his family. The sleek brown plumage, the trim figure, the beauti- ful speckled breast of white and buff, the dark intelligent eye, the little knowing turn of the head, held for a moment on one side as if listening — surely the Thrush is one of the most familiar of living things, in suburban and country gardens. Snails are a food to which the Thrush is specially partial. To watch him breaking the shell to get at the j...uicy morsel inside is quite a study. Sometimes, instead of using as an anvil anything hard that happens to be near, he carries the snail to one particular stone that he has found, and which suits his fancy. The ground all round such a stone will be strewn with the tiny pieces of broken shells. My readers may have come across such stones. The nest of the Thrush — formed like a small deep basin — is well known. It is usually built in tree or bush or thick ivy, and is made of grass with a lining of wet clay, which the bird smooths and presses with her body till the whole structure is very firm and hard.
