The Crow

(This is an open-ended speaking activity. Sample answer for students:)

I see many birds around my house and school. I see crows, sparrows, pigeons, and mynas very often. Sometimes I also see parrots sitting on the trees near my school.

I like that the crow is very clever and smart. It is always alert and finds food on its own. Even though it is black, it is a very brave and helpful bird. It also warns us when danger is near.

(Note: The images of birds cannot be seen in the OCR. However, based on the standard NCERT Mridang Class 2 textbook, the birds shown in this exercise are commonly known birds. Students should write the name below each bird picture.)

The birds typically shown in this exercise include:

1. Crow (काला पक्षी)
2. Peacock (मोर)
3. Parrot (तोता)
4. Sparrow (गौरैया)
5. Pigeon (कबूतर)
6. Owl (उल्लू)
7. Duck (बतख)
8. Eagle (चील)
9. Hen (मुर्गी)
10. Flamingo (राजहंस)
11. Kingfisher (किलकिला)
12. Woodpecker (कठफोड़वा)

Students should look at each picture carefully and write the correct name of the bird in the space provided below it.

(This is a creative drawing activity.)

Step 1: Think of your favourite bird. It could be a peacock, parrot, sparrow, crow, or any bird you like.

Step 2: Draw the bird carefully in the box. Try to draw its beak, wings, feathers, eyes, and legs.

Step 3: You may also draw trees, grass, or a sky in the background to make your picture more beautiful.

Step 4: Write the name of your bird in the blank.

Sample answer:
My favourite bird is Peacock.

(Students may choose any bird they like and write its name.)
