SWALLOW/SPARROW

Why did the sparrow go to the library?
It was looking for bookworms!

Sparrows are small, chubby brown-grey birds with short tails and short & blunt yet powerful beaks. They mainly eat seeds but can also eat insects. Song Sparrow is the most common and widespread sparrow native to North America. Although Song Sparrows learn their music from other song sparrows, each bird creates its own variation.
No two human finger prints are same similarly no two sparrows sing the same tune!

• We are drawing four sparrows together. So we write four Os, more like ovals.

• Now to make the face we write upside down Us on each O. To make tail we write two Is together, closer towards body and a little spaced out at the end.

• Make eyes by putting a dot on each. Join edges of I with a horizontal I to finish making tail. Write two Cs inside each O of body as shown to make end wings.
• Write V to make beaks.

• Instead of Vs , you can also write M for beak.
• Write 11 for feet.
• Draw branch with a crooked I.

STORK

Where do birds invest their money?
In the stork market!

Storks are a symbol of fertility and parental care.
Storks are large, long-legged, long-necked wading birds with long stout bills. Storks have no syrinx and are mute, giving no bird call;bill-clattering is an important mode of stork communication.

• Start by writing a S.
• At the upper end of S write U.
• Write a big U starting at the middle of the small one and stretching a little longer than the free edge of S.

• Join the free tip of S and U with W.
• Write V for leg. Notice that my Vs are very flat for the leg.
• Write small V at end of each leg for the foot.

• Put a dot for eye and write long V for beak.
• You can modify this stork a little bit at its leg. You can write small Us first and then make legs as usual.

A fun question now... Do you know why does the stork stand on one leg only?
If he lifted it, he would fall down!
