What reading level is Ornithological Other Oddities book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Being as big as blackbirds, with sharp, curved beaks, and very 54 BOURU FRIAR- BIRD The model of the mimicking Bouru Oriole By permission of Messrs. Hittchinson & Co.
BOURU ORIOLE This mimicking species should be compared with the more normal Black-headed one By permission of Messrs. Hittchinson & Co.
Mimicry in Birds strong feet and claws, and having besides a clannish disposition, they are inclined to band together and defend themselves against hawks and crows are not, in short, the sort of q...uarry with which the average bird of prey cares to have to do. The orioles, on the other hand, are soli- tary birds with small weak feet, and bills which, though stout enough in their way, are not such efficient weapons as the nicely-curved and sharp- pointed bill of the friar-birds.
Now in certain islands where both friar-birds and orioles occur, it is noticeable that the local orioles, although belonging to a family which is usually brilliant in colour, at any rate when adult, are of just the same quakerish shade as the honey- suckers living with them.
