Our dear Bangladesh is a beautiful country. It is a land of forests and trees. Hills and vales, rivers, marshes and canals wide open meadows. It has got a moderate climate neither too hot nor too cold. So this land is a happy ab9de of different kinds of birds. Birds have increased the beauty of our country. We sleep at night and rise early in the morning hearing the sweet song of different birds. Different types there are different types of birds in our country. They are different in color, size and habit. They eat different kinds of food. Some birds eat fish and flesh; some live on warms and insects, some on fruits and grains, some on filth and garbage.

Teasing birds: Crows and kites are teasing birds the crow is a very common bird in Bangladesh. It is very clever. Let steals away the food and other small things from our kitchen and from the hands of the little babies. It looks ugly. Yet it is useful. It feeds on dead animals and dirty things. It has a harsh voice. The kite also steals away chickens, fish and pieces of flesh. Song birds there are many song birds in Bangladesh. The cuckoo is the most popular of all song birds. It comes to our country at the beginning of spring. Small boys and girls try to imitate a cuckoo when it sings. It hides itself behind leaves. The shyma, the doel, the koel and the baukatha-kao, the nightingle are well known song birds. Doel is our national bird. Talking birds the parrot, the mayna, the chandana, the cockatoo and the martin are called talking birds. They are fine looking.
