Class 6 Bird watcher

Mrs Fischer felt embarrassed because her eleven year old son, Cyril , created a scene in the presence of their house guest Dr, Rao who had come from India.

2. Dr. Gopal Rao was an expert on birds. He had come from India.
3. Cyril loved peeking into birds nests.
4. Cyril was impressed by Dr. Rao as he shared his childhood adventures regarding his interest in bird watching. Dr. Rao told him he too hated going to school when he was Cyril's age. Instead he loved peeking into birds nests.
5. As Cyril was going through Dr. Rao's books on birds he saw the picture

of a bird he had seen during one of his bird-watching sessions. He had spotted their nest in a huge oak tree . This surprised Dr. Rao as that bird , the black robin of Chatham Island , was one of the rarest birds . He couldn't believe that Cyril had spotted it.

6.Dr. Rao wanted Cyril to take him to the black robin's nest . He wanted to see the bird for himself and confirm the authenticity of what Cyril had told him.

7.The next morning dr. Rao found two black robins in the oak tree. They twittered and stirred out of their nests.

8. He planned to steal the eggs of the black robins and mingle them with eggs in other bird's nests.The black robins would then lay fresh eggs . In this manner the number of eggs of this rare bird could be doubled.
9. Dr. Rao instructed Cyril to wash his hands , dry them , and lift the bird's eggs very carefully with a spoon like an instrument and transfer them into a container. Both the spoon and container had been rinsed in a disinfectant . Next he had to place an egg in each of the two warlber's nests. They marked both the trees . He was asked to destroy the robin's nest , so that they would build a new nest and lay fresh eggs.
10. He cleaned up the warbler's nest as the droppings of the baby black robin did not fall out of the small nest. During cold spells the baby might have caught a chill and died . So he cleaned the nest.
