Everyone laughed. They all agreed that those 4 little bears were indeed very much like the long-tailed tits that swarmed into the garden in big groups together.
"Teddy, on the other hand, must be a blackbird!" Charlie declared. "He's very independent, likes to be alone when he's reading his books, he's a plain dark colour, and is a very good singer."
"Yes! Yes! That's him exactly!" the others replied.
Teddy then spoke up. "I think James would be a wren," he said "because, although he is quite a small bear, he really has a very loud voice! You will always be able to hear him above everybody else when he speaks!"
"And I think Lizzie is like a sparrow," he continued. "She is chirpy and sociable, loves being in a gang with everyone and she will eat anything!"
