Bird Talk Summary Class 3 English Unit 2

Summary

• The birds Robin and Jay, were talking about the humans and the differences that exist between them and humans.
• Robin and Jay have feathers and they were surprised at the way Humans grow and the fact that they don't have feathers at all.
• The birds were wondering that Humans do not grow wings like them and hence they cannot fly at all. Neither can they sit on the wires as Birds do with ease.
• Humans, unlike birds, don't have wings and hence cannot fly and cannot do all the activities like a bird does. They neither have feathers like birds do nor any other features of birds.
• The birds also said about the eating habits of Humans , that humans can not eat beetles like them. 
• The birds however find it funny as the way humans look and do. 
• The birds cannot relate to the fact that how someone can live or grow without having wings and feathers, or someone cannot eat beetles which birds eat. Since all these things are associated with birds it's difficult for them to imagine humans growing up without having wings and feathers and humans not being able to fly, sit on the wires and or eat beetles and hence they believe it is really funny to be that way as humans are.
