Cuckoo Feathers was very interesting. I liked it because I'm interested in birds. The main character is Sarah.

This book was a really good book because it really teaches you something about not judging others. Sarah didn't like Mercedes because she had the pigeons outside her window, but she soon realizes that Mercedes is really nice. Don't judge birds or people. They just want what's best for their families. Read this interesting book to find out how Sarah and Mercedes become friends all because of a few pigeons.

This book is about a girl named Sarah. Sarah finds some pigeons that she wants to make homing pigeons out of but then she has to try and help save them from an enemy. When a grey bird comes, she is scared it will knock the birds out of the nest. Sarah comes up with an idea to protect the nest. Read this book and see what happens to Sarah and the birds.

This book is about friendship. It is how two people families and two bird families get along. The best part was when Sarah had an idea to give bad bird a nest to make him stop bothering Coo and Cuckoo. The book was interesting, and I also learned more about pigeons.

You should read this book because it teaches us to share things and not be so selfish. My favorite part was when the birds made a nest next door in a flower pot.

I read Cuckoo Feathers and iI really liked it. I didn't like the part when the baby bird's egg fell out of the nest and the baby bird died. But other than that, this book was really cool.
