What reading level is The Wit of the Wild book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Birds are friendly creatures as a rule, and often nest in companies, not only in rookeries of their own kind alone, but by vari- ous species carrying on their domestic life in close proximity yet peaceably, and all rallying to defend the whole community against threat- ened dangers. Sometimes the association is closer.
Thus it often happens that the huge nests occupied year after year along our coasts by the fish-hawks will be dotted among the sticks on the outside with the nests of blackbirds,... which raise their young comfortably beneath the Animal Partnerships r shadow of the great hawk's wings ; and the same thing has been noted in the nests of the whistling sea-eagle of Australia, which harbors in the niches of its castle the home of a small finch, the diminutive tenants getting along most ami- cably with their powerful host.
At the other extreme is the curious voluntary association of birds with ants and wasps for the sake of safety for their homes. Gosse tells us, in his " Naturalist in Jamaica, " that in that island a small seed-eater called the grass-quit often selects a shrub on which wasps have built and fixes the entrance to its domed nest close to their cells; and Prince Maximilian Neuwied states, in his " Travels in Brazil, " that he found the curious purse-shaped nest of one of the todies constantly placed near the nests of wasps, and that the natives informed him that it did so to secure itself against attacks by its enemies.
