   The thrush is also well known in my locality. She builds her nest almost the same as the blackbird. There is also another kind of thrush called the red winged thrush. This bird only comes for the winter. Before Summer it goes north to Norway and Sweden.

   The swallows also migrate, but they come here in Summer. They build their nests of mud, in the eaves of houses.

   The cuckoo comes with the swallows. She builds no nest at all, but lays her eggs in the nest of another bird.

   I got this lore from my own observation.
