What reading level is Pigeons book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The legs are very short and partly clothed with feathers helow the tarsal joint; the feet are formed expressly for perch- ing or grasping; the sole, or that part of the foot which rests immediately upon the branch, being greatly en- larged by the extension of the mem- brane, giving it a firm base of sup- port ; the exterior toe is longer than the inner, and the claws are very strong, sharp, and semicircular, close- f ly resembling in form those of the woodpecker or other scansorial birds. The w...ings are of mean length, but strong and pointed, the second and third quill-feathers being nearly equal, and the longest in each wing.
In all the species submitted to ex- amination, the third quill has the cen- tral part of the inner web deeply notched, as if a piece had been cut out, as represented in the wood-cut annexed. This particular character is confined to the genus, but many other members of the Columbidse possess peculiarities as striking in the form of the first and other quill- feathers, which, as modifications of 94 VINAGO.
