Meanwhile also came the chickadees in flocks, which, picking up the crumbs the squirrels had dropped, flew to the nearest twig and, placing them under their claws, hammered away at them with their little bills, as if it were an insect in the bark, till they were sufficiently reduced for their slender throats.
Under tiden också kom Chickadees i flockar, som plockar upp smulorna the ekorrar hade sjunkit, flög till närmaste kvist, och placera dem under deras klor, hamrat på dem med sina små räkningar, som om det vore en insekt i barken, tills de var tillräckligt minskas sina smala halsar.QED QED
