What reading level is The Story of the Birds Being An Introduction to the Study of Ornithology book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The most characteristic habits and functions of Birds may now fittingly help their story onwards. Of course it would be quite impossible to give even the barest resume of the habits, infinite in variety, of nearly twelve thousand species of birds. On the other hand we may, at least, be successful in describing some of the more charac- teristic habits possessed by most birds in common, together with a few of the more remarkable pecu- liarities of the class. These naturally group themselves into ...various classes of phenomena, among which we may mention Flight, Terrestrial and Aquatic Motion, Social, Gregarious, or Soli- tary Instincts, Food and the many methods of procuring it, Mimicry, Protective Colours and Resemblances, and, lastly, the very difficult problems of Variation and Dimorphism. We will first devote a short space to that func- tion of the wings termed Flight, together with certain aerial habits of birds. Flight may be said to be nearly universal among birds ; it is one of their most remarkable characteristics, their name being almost synonymous with an aerial exist- ence.
