What reading level is Wonders of the Bird World book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Gould says that in the case of the Australian Cliff-Swallow or Fairy Martin the nest is constructed by several birds working together, one remain- ing inside the nest and receiving the pellets as they are brought by its companions. The spouts are often eight or nine inches in length, and are not always built in the same direction, but take different angles.
The nests of the Edible Swiftlets (Collocalia) are also most curious structures. With these nests a large trade is done with China, from ma...ny of the Malayan Islands, over three and a half million nests having been known to be exported in a single year from Borneo to the latter country, where birds'-nest soup is considered a delicacy. In Borneo and other places the caves in which the Swiftlets build are leased to the collectors for a consider- able sum, but it is only the white nests, made of the pure secretion derived from the salivary glands of the birds, which are of any real value. The nests of those species which mix into their nests grass or feathers are not appreciated as an article of commerce.
