Birds 'Well I never did,' exclaimed the Gold finch. 'Come again,' said the little Chiff-chaff 'You were referring to that little clinch in the fir tree. I think Janet Wagtail thinks it is a bit of a laugh.' 'No, no she has had her eye on him for a while.' Goldie pruned her wing,' you know what they...
