"But it must be very windy up in the trees," said Tommy Smith. "That is the great advantage of the situation," said the mother woodpigeon. "Our beds are always well aired, so we need never feel anxious about that.

 early, of course, and fly down to breakfast at about six. After three or four hours we come back to the woods again, and coo and talk to each other there for about an hour. Then we go off to drink and to bathe, which is the nicest part of the whole day. After that we feel a little tired and sleepy, so we sit quietly in the woods till about two. Then it is quite time for dinner, so off we go again and feed till about five. After dinner it is best to sit quiet and coo a little. A quiet coo aids digestion. Then we have a nice refreshing drink in the cool of the evening, and after that we go straight to tree.” “Do you mean to bed?” said Tommy Smith. “Of course I do,” said the mother woodpigeon. “We sleep in trees. They are the only beds we should care to trust ourselves to.” “Aren’t they rather hard?” said Tommy Smith. “Not at all,” said the woodpigeon. “You see, we have our own feathers, so that makes them feather-beds. They are soft enough and warm enough for us, you may be quite sure.”  YOU WHAT WE DO ALL DAY SO LISTEN WE RISE EARLY OF COURSE AND FLY DOWN TO BREAKFAST AT ABOUT SIX AFTER THREE OR FOUR HOURS WE COME BACK TO THE WOODS AGAIN AND COO AND TALK TO EACH OTHER THERE FOR ABOUT AN HOUR THEN WE GO OFF TO DRINK AND TO BATHE WHICH IS THE NICEST PART OF THE WHOLE DAY AFTER THAT WE FEEL A LITTLE TIRED AND SLEEPY SO WE SIT QUIETLY IN THE WOODS TILL ABOUT TWO THEN IT IS QUITE TIME FOR DINNER SO OFF WE GO AGAIN AND FEED UNTIL ABOUT FIVE AFTER DINNER IT IS BEST TO SIT QUIET AND COOL A LITTLE A QUIET COO AIDS DIGESTION THEN WE HAVE A NICE REFRESHING DRINK IN THE COOL OF THE EVENING AND AFTER THAT WE GO STRAIGHT TO TREE DO YOU MEAN TO BED SAID TOMMY SMITH OF COURSE I DO SAID THE MOTHER WOODPIGEON WE SLEEP IN TREES THEY ARE THE ONLY BEDS WE SHOULD CARE TO TRUST OURSELVES TO AREN'T THEY RATHER HARD SAID TOMMY SMITH NOT AT ALL SAID THE WOODPIGEON YOU SEE WE HAVE OUR OWN FEATHERS SO THAT MAKES THEM FEATHER BEDS THEY ARE SOFT ENOUGH AND WARM ENOUGH FOR US YOU MAY BE QUITE SURE
