  1. Bird-Lore

    Share Share Post
    The wild birds which are most common in our district are, robins, blackbirds, thrushes, and crows. They do not go away in winter. It is said, that if the robin is on the top a tree in the evening the next day will be good. People like the robin very well and it is very tame. The robin comes into the houses in winter.
