    Thrushes are brown birds and build their nests in a hawthorn bush, and they make their nests of clay, and lay from four to five eggs. The male thrush is a lovely singer. The black bird builds her nest in the back of a ditch, and lays five eggs, and makes her nest of clay, grass, and hair. The male black bird is a good singer. The gold finch is a very nice bird, and builds her nest in a sycamore tree with hair and moss and lays about six eggs. Somepeople like to have a male gold finch in a cage.
