What reading level is The Faculties of Birds book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
they pounce on their unsuspecting victims ; and it is doubtless the same extraordinary faculty which, if it does not enable, at least powerfully assists the migratory tribes to shape their course through the trackless atmosphere and over imbeaconed seas. When the carrier-pigeon is let loose in a strange region, he darts suddenly aloft in spiral circles, in- creasing the diameter at every turn, till at last, having, from his airy height, descried some known familiar spot in the remote distance, ...he shoots directly forward to his home, like an arrow from a bow.
The hearing of birds, so necessary for escape from dangers as well as indicating the neighbourhood of their prey, is scarcely less perfect in many species than their sight ; yet the external ear, which is es- sential for producing distinctness of sound as the organ is formed in quadrupeds and man, would obstruct their rapid progress through the air, and be inconvenient in other respects. This appendage is therefore withheld, but it is amply compensated by a peculiarity in the internal structure a circumstance which indicates the never-failing resources of the Creator.
