- (continued from previous page)While Our Lord was hanging on the cross on Good Friday the robin saw the crown of thorns & he thought to take it off by pecking it & after a while he felt something trickling down his breat & he looked at it & it was blood. That is how he got his Red Breast.
The cuckoo is a very lazy bird she takes another nest and lays the eggs & leave them to another bird to hatch.
The lark builds it nest in the corn.- Collector
