Reading Comprehension

Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow:

1. What is that chirp? Is that from a sparrow or a parrot? What is that black bird? Is that a
crow or a koel? If such questions fascinate you, then you could make bird-watching your
hobby. If you want to study birds as a science and make it your profession, you could
become an ornithologist.

2. Bird-watching was popularised in India by the famous ornithologist Salim Ali. Now, many
towns and cities in India have bird-watching clubs, where groups of people set out in search
of birds.

3. One of the reasons why bird-watching is popular is because it is relatively an inexpensive

hobby. All one needs is a pair of binoculars, a book for identification and a notebook for
recording the time and place of sightings.

4. Many bird-watchers set up bird-feeds to attract birds. Often the observations compiled by
members of local bird-watching societies are very useful to scientists in studying the
population, habitat and migration patterns of variousspecies.

5. What is more, this hobby is becoming a favourite today,thanks to the internet, digital
photography and social media. There are even mobile applications (apps) where
bird-watchers add their observations and collect information. The awareness and
knowledge gained by bird-watchers is being passed on. This can go a long way in
protecting birds in an effective way.
