Mary, where did you get your pretty redbirds?
Fred sent them to me.
Did he send the cage too?
No, mamma' gave me the cage.
What nice pets the birds will be! Are they tame, Mary?
Not yet, but I think they soon will be. They let me set food near them now.
When they are tame, you can let them out of the cage.
What a funny cap one of them has!
It looks like a cap, Mary, but it is not. It is a crest.
Many redbirds have no crest, and I am glad that one of your birds has one.
Will these birds sing well?
They sing very little. Redbirds are pretty, but they do not sing so well as some other birds.
