THE BLUEBIRD 



Make your paper Bluebird and then you will be sure to know the 

 real bird when you see him. 



The Bluebird does not often hop around your doorstep like the 

 Robin, so you will have to look for him. Probably you will see him first 

 while he is flying. He comes quite early in the spring, and his song is 

 very sweet. 



Perhaps you will find his nest down in the orchard, where he chooses 

 a hole in one of the trees and lines it with soft grasses; or it may be he 

 will take possession of an empty bird-house or a cranny in ^ome building 

 He never builds an outside to his nest, but just lines the shelter he has 

 found. 



In the Bluebird's nest there will be four or five bluish eggs. 



The Bluebird is a cousin to the Robin and belongs to the Thrush 

 family.
