Citizen Bird: Scenes from Bird-Life in Plain English for Beginners

"Citizen Bird: Scenes from Bird-Life in Plain English for Beginners" by Mabel Osgood Wright is a late 19th-century book that combines education about bird life with interesting stories. The book teaches about different types of birds and their roles in nature, focusing on the relationships between humans and birds through characters like Dr. Roy Hunter and his kids: Nat, Dodo, and Olive. At the beginning, some swallows chat about how the Hunter family's return to Orchard Farm might mess up their nests. The Hunter children are curious and want to discover more about birds, especially when they visit the Doctor's special room full of bird examples. The early parts introduce the idea of connecting birds and humans while teaching nature lessons in a fun way for families.
