Excerpt from Neighbors With Wings and Fins, and Some Others: For Young People _1. IT is a bright, sunny morning. Our feathered friends are awake and out. They are talking, laughing, crying, peeping, crowing, clucking, gob bling, and shrieking. They are running, rolling, hopping, flying, strutting, and scratching. They seem to think the whole world belongs to them. They fill the air With their noise. Their many colored feathers turn and glisten in the mellow sunshine, and the whole farm-yard is alive with their play and work.
