Let us now read a selection. Afterwards, you will be asked some questions to find out if

you understood what you have read.

Smart Birds

Everyone knows that birds like to eat seeds and grain. Birds also like to eat little stones called gravel. Birds have to eat the gravel because they don’t have teeth to grind their food. The gravel stays in the bird’s stomach. When the bird eats seed, the gravel and the seed grind together. All of the seed is mashed up.

Tame birds must be given gravel. Wild birds find their own gravel in the road sides.

Reading Comprehension Questions:

• 1. What is the title of the selection?

• 2-3. What are the two things that birds like to eat?

• 4. Why do birds have to eat small stones?

• 5. What do you think will happen to birds that can’t get small stones in their food?

• 6. Do you think a bird in a cage has an easier life than a bird that is free to look for its own food? Why or why not?
