  1. Wild Birds

    Share Share Post
    The robin is one of the wild birds in this country. The robin builds its nest in the ditch.
    The wren is another wild bird. It builds its nest in the ditch also or in an old wall.
    The crow builds its nest on the top of a tree. It is a sign of bad weather to see the crows flying low.
    The woodcock is another wild bird. It builds its nest in the wood.
    The swallow builds its nest in the barn. It does not stay with us all the year.
    The lark is another wild bird. It builds its nest on the ground.
    The black bird builds its nest in a bush. We can eat a blackbird.
