Excerpt from In the Garden of Peace That birds use'bad language is indis putable. If you paya visit to jenny-wren's nest in the garden-bank, she will hop up on to the paling and expostulate with much indignation at the intrusion; she will scold and rattle and-pour forth the vials of her wrath upon you in a manner quite peculiar to herself. The wren's song is very loud for so small a bird; it is quick and bustling, and the little upright tail jerks with' the exertion of singing, and emphasises the high notes. Birds betray their character in their song, as human beings do in conversation; the willow wren, for instance - the next migrant to arrive after the chiff-chaff - is a merry debonair songster, singing recklessly the whole day long, and his must be a gay, thoughtless character; while the wood wren is a delicate, plaintive bird, tired out by his long flight hither, and showing his weariness in every sad note of his song.
