Birds protect themselves by always listening and watching for(当心) danger. At the smallest sign of it, they will fly away. If they cannot fly they are often able to swim fast, or run quickly. Some birds make themselves look bigger and more dangerous by fluttering(抖动) their feathers.

Another important protection for many birds is their color. Their feathers often have colors. The colors match the things around their nests(巢). Some birds change their colors with the seasons. In winter they are white to match the snow. In summer they are brown to match the ground. Why do some birds die out?

When people cut down forests to build houses and factories, they destroy(破坏) the homes and food of birds. If the birds have nowhere else to go and nothing to eat, they die out.

Pollution(污染) may cause some birds to die. Birds that eat fish from polluted water get poison in their bodies. Then they cannot lay healthy eggs. New birds aren’t born. How do people protect birds?

Now people protect birds by passing laws(法律) to stop hunting and pollution, by setting up special parks where all birds are safe(安全) from hunters, and by teaching people to care about birds and not to kill them. Birds are our friends and are important for us.

People sometimes say, “It’s raining cats and dogs!” when there is a heavy rain. Nobody has ever really seen cats and dogs falling from the sky, but there have been many reports of other strange things “raining” down. In 1956, the people of a town in the USA saw a small black cloud in the sky. It started to rain from the cloud normally, but only in a small area. The cloud then turned white, and fish started to fall to the ground. Most of them were still alive.

During a storm in July 1901, in Minneapolis, people heard something falling from the sky that did not sound like rain. When they went outside, they found all types of frogs covering four streets.

There are other reports of strange “rains” failing from the sky including worms, insects and snakes.

Can these strange “rains” be explained by science? Scientists usually say that a tornado (龙卷风) has picked up the animals from a river or ocean, carried them for miles, and then dropped them somewhere else. But this does not completely explain all of them. On May 15, 1890, in Italy, there was a rain of birds’ blood. Scientists said that flying birds must have been torn (撕碎) to pieces by strong winds. But if so, why did only their blood fall from the sky , and not other parts of their bodies? And anyway, there were no strong winds that day!
