What reading level is The History of Birds Their Varieties And Oddities Comprising Graphic Descript book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In South America they build their nests about the end of September ; these are formed, of earth, on the ground, and are from one to three feet high. The eggs are s as large as those of a goose, and have the singular property of their white not becoming hard by boiling. When attempted to be seized, these birds make a vigorous defence with their bills.
Many of the Indians set a high value on the feathers of these birds ; which they use for arrows, as they last much longer than those of any other ...birds. The natives of the South Sea Islands watch the arrival of the Man-of-war Birds at the rainy season ; and, when they observe them, they launch from their canoes into the water a light float of wood, baited with a small fish. When one of the birds approaches it, a man stands ready with a pole, about eighteen feet in length ; and on its pouncing, he strikes at the bird, and seldom fails of bringing it down. If, however, he miss his aim, he must wait for some other bird, for that will no more be tempted to approach.
