Easy to read. E-text prepared by Margaret Macaskill and Project Gutenberg Distributed Proofreaders "Citizen Bird: Scenes from Bird-Life in Plain English for Beginners" by Mabel Osgood Wright and Elliott Coues is a nature-themed book written in the late 19th century. The book integrates education about bird life with engaging narratives, making it suitable for young readers and bird enthusiasts. The central topic revolves around understanding the lives and roles of various birds, emphasizing their importance in nature and our ecosystem, highlighting characters like Dr. Roy Hunter, his family, and their interactions with birds. At the start of the book, a group of swallows is introduced, discussing their concerns about the return of the human inhabitants to Orchard Farm, which threatens their nesting habits. As the swallows express their worries, we also get introduced to the children of Dr. Roy Hunter—Nat, Dodo, and Olive—who engage in lively conversations about birds and their characteristics. The children are eager to learn and explore, leading them to the Doctor's "wonder room,” filled with bird specimens. The initial chapters set the stage for a deeper exploration of avian life, focusing on the bonds between the bird and human worlds, while also cleverly embedding lessons about nature in an engaging, family-friendly narrative.
