The owl said – Stop this hullabaloo. Why are you quarrelling ? We are all special in our own ways. Our claws, beaks, feathers and sounds are different yet we are all birds. If we all looked alike, ate the same food and made the same sounds, think how dull the world would be!

❉ Which of the birds mentioned in the lesson have you seen? Write their names.

❉ Now go outside and look for birds on trees, in water, on the ground, in and around bushes. How many birds could you see?

❉ In the table write the names of birds and ‘!’ the place where you saw them. If you do not know the names of any bird then write how you would know it.
