Bird Talk Poem class 5 Summary in English

In the poem "Bird Talk'', the poet Aileen Fisher depicts two birds "Robin" and "Jay" talking about human beings in a funny way. The birds are sitting in a garden and gossiping about human beings. They urge each other to think about people.

The two birds are fascinated by the way how human beings grow up. They think that people do not grow feathers and it is very funny to look at them without feathers. The people have different outlooks from birds.

People do not eat beetles. They also do not grow wings. So, human beings can not fly like birds. People do not sit on wires and on other things like birds. 

The birds (Robin and Jay) are greatly amused with the odd outlook and the habits of mankind. At least for them, mankind do not behave like birds nor they appear like birds. So, the birds find it very funny.

Bird Talk Poem class 5 Summary in Hindi

"Bird Talk'', 'कविता में कवि Aileen Fisher ने दो पक्षियों "Robin "और" Jay" को मजाकिया अंदाज में मनुष्यों के बारे में बात करते हुए दर्शाया है। पक्षी एक बगीचे में बैठे हैं और मनुष्यों के बारे में गपशप कर रहे हैं। वे एक-दूसरे से आग्रह करते हैं।  लोगों के बारे में सोचो।

दोनों पक्षी जिस तरह से मनुष्य के बड़े होते हैं, उससे मोहित हो जाते हैं।  उन्हें लगता है कि लोग पंख नहीं उगाते हैं और बिना पंख के उन्हें देखना बहुत मज़ेदार है।  लोगों का पक्षियों से अलग दृष्टिकोण है।

लोग बीटल नहीं खाते हैं।  वे पंख भी नहीं उगाते।  तो, इंसान पक्षियों की तरह उड़ नहीं सकता।  लोग तारों और पक्षियों की तरह अन्य चीजों पर नहीं बैठते हैं।

पक्षियों (Robin और Jay) अजीब दृष्टिकोण और मानव जाति की आदतों के साथ बहुत खुश हैं।  कम से कम उनके लिए, मानव जाति पक्षियों की तरह व्यवहार नहीं करती है और न ही वे पक्षियों की तरह दिखाई देते हैं।  तो, पक्षियों को यह बहुत अजीब लगता है।

i) Do you think bird have families ?
