| Summary | "Tales of the Birds" by W. Warde Fowler is a collection of animal stories written in the early 20th century. The book focuses on the lives and adventures of various birds, conveying themes of nature, survival, and companionship through anthropomorphized characters. Noteworthy birds include the fieldfare and its companions as they navigate winter challenges, as well as the narratives surrounding their relationships and struggles in the wild. The opening of the collection introduces "A Winter's Tale," where the reader is immersed in a serene yet harsh midwinter landscape favored by fieldfares. As the narrative unfolds, the fieldfares face the impending threat of starvation due to the harsh frost and dwindling food supplies. The elder birds decide to split up in search of food, advising the younger ones to migrate south to escape the severe conditions. The chosen leader, Cocktail, exhibits pride and determination as he takes charge of his fellow young fieldfares, setting them off on their journey while highlighting themes of leadership, perseverance, and the trials of life in the wild.
