A long time ago, when a mother and father had a baby, people said, ‘A stork gave the baby to them. ’ A stork has long legs and a very big beak. Some cards for new babies have a picture of a stork.

Some people teach birds to catch small animals. The birds are called falcons. The teachers are called falconers. The falconer teaches the bird to chase a piece of meat on a string. Then the falcon learns to chase mice and rats. The falconer must wear a glove, because the bird’s claws are sharp!
