Read the text and answer the following questions 5, 6, 7, 8 & 9.
There are many birds found in our country. Birds have feathers. They have wings and most of them can fly. The Penguin and the Ostrich are two of the few birds which cannot fly. They aren’t found in Bangladesh. The Humming birds are the smallest birds in the world. They are not found in Bangladesh.
The Crow, the Sparrow, the Doel, the Shalik, the Kingfisher are the common birds of Bangladesh. We also see Cuckoo in the spring. Its voice is very sweet. That’s why people like and love this bird most. Parrots and Mynah birds can talk. People keep these birds as pets. They keep them in cages. Birds are not happy in cages.

Birds are warm blooded. Most birds are very light. Their bodies are shaped like aeroplanes. Birds have strong wing and chest muscles and very light hollow bones. These help the birds fly.
After a male and female bird mate, they build a nest. Birds build their nests in all kinds of places. Usually, the nests are high up in trees. Some birds, Sparrows, build their nests in walls and cliffs. The Cuckoo does not build a nest. The female Cuckoo lays her eggs in Crow’s nests.
Most birds lay two or three eggs. Eggs have to be kept warm, so one of the birds sits on them. Soon the baby birds hatch. The chicks are usually blind and bald. They have to be fed by the adult birds.

Dear Safat,
I have received your letter in time. In your letter you wanted to know about some birds I see around.
Well, let me write about it. There are many birds found in our country.
The Crow, the Shalik, the Doel, the Dove, the Bou katha kau and the Kingfisher are very common birds of our country. The Crow is black and ugly bird. The Shalik is a beautiful bird. Doel is our national bird. The Dove is also attractive to look at. The Bou katha kau attracts us with its sweet tone. The Kingfisher is very beautiful bird. In spring we find Cuckoo. Its sweet voice charms us greatly. This is a short description of some common birds in our locality.
I am well. No more today.
Your loving friend, Jahangir.
