To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
They are often caged when young with a view of teaching them to speak, which ia sometimes successful. The Raven, of all bii-ds, is most widely distributed over the surface of the globe. He measures two feet in length, of which the tail measures about nine inches. The whole bird is a deep black color, the upper part being tinged with purple, the lower part and tail with green. The beak is high, round, and shaped like a dagger. The tongue is very broad, which accounts for the ease with which he l...earns to speak. Some persons in Europe cut the string of the tongue, with a view to facilitate the utterance of sounds ; although I think the operation entirely unnecessary, and nothing more than an ancient, useless custom. The Raven builds his nest in the highest ti'ees of a wooded country, almost inaccessible to the hands of the egg-stealing youngster. The young, in oi-der to be tamed, should be taken from the nest when about fifteen days old ; and as they will eat almost any thing in the shape of meat, fish, or scraps from the table, the diffi- culty of raising them is slight.
