Looking at birds
看鸟
You may not always notice birds, but they are all over the place – in the garden, by the seashore, in the city. If you become a birdwatcher, soon you will begin to learn all sorts of things about birds – how they feed, how they fly, and the different sounds that they make.
你可能不会经常注意到鸟，但它们到处都是——在花园里，在海边，在城市里。如果你成为一名观鸟者，很快你就会开始学习关于鸟类的各种知识——它们如何进食，如何飞行，以及它们发出的不同声音。

House sparrow
麻雀
This cheeky bird is found in gardens and cities across the world. You can recognize the male by its brown back, grey crown, and black bib.
这种厚颜无耻的鸟在世界各地的花园和城市都能找到。你可以通过它棕色的后背、灰色的王冠和黑色的围嘴认出它。

Dressed for the part
为这个角色穿衣服
When watching birds, wear dull colours so that you don’t stand out too much from the background. Make sure you have some warm, waterproof clothing in case it gets cold or wet.
看鸟时，穿暗颜色的衣服，这样你就不会在背景中显得太突出。确保你有一些温暖、防水的衣服，以防天气变冷或变湿。

What is a bird?
什么是鸟？
Birds come in many shapes and sizes, but there are things that unite them. All birds are covered in feathers for warmth. They all have two wings, although not all birds can fly. All birds have beaks and lay eggs, and their legs and feet are covered in small scales.
鸟类有许多形状和大小，但有一些东西将它们结合在一起。所有的鸟都披上羽毛取暖。它们都有两只翅膀，尽管不是所有的鸟都会飞。所有的鸟都有喙和产卵，它们的腿和脚上覆盖着小鳞片。

Feathered friends
有羽毛的朋友
Birds are the only animals with feathers. A large bird, such as a swan, may have more than 25,000 feathers, and even a tiny hummingbird has almost 1,000. Feathers keep birds warm and dry and allow them to fly. A bird’s feathers come in many beautiful colours and shapes.
鸟类是唯一有羽毛的动物。一只大鸟，如天鹅，可能有25000根以上的羽毛，甚至一只小蜂鸟也有近1000根。羽毛能使鸟类保持温暖和干燥，并能让它们飞翔。鸟的羽毛有许多美丽的颜色和形状。

Taking to the air A bird stays in the air by flapping its wings. As it pulls its wings down, the feathers push against the air, moving the bird up and forwards.
一只鸟拍打着翅膀飞在空中。当它拉下翅膀时，羽毛顶着空气，使鸟上下移动。

Patterns in the air
空中的图案
When you see a bird in flight, notice the pattern it makes. Different kinds of birds fly in different ways. Large heavy birds, such as ducks, flap their wings all the time. Many smaller birds save their energy by gliding between flaps. Some birds hover in the air as they search for prey or feed at flowers.
当你看到一只鸟在飞翔时，注意它的形状。不同种类的鸟以不同的方式飞行。大型笨重的鸟，如鸭子，总是拍打翅膀。许多较小的鸟类通过在襟翼之间滑行来节省能量。有些鸟在空中盘旋，寻找猎物或以花为食。
