There were the usual garden birds they see at home, like robins and sparrows and blackbirds and chaffinches and magpies and blue tits and pigeons and doves, but they also saw buzzards high up in the sky, and occasionally geese would fly over in the shape of a 'V'. And one morning they were very lucky to see a brilliantly-coloured pheasant with very glossy plumage (that's another word for feathers).
One day some ducks came and landed on the pond, quacking so loudly the bears thought they would wake up the whole neighbourhood! Although the pond was fenced off for safety reasons, the bears could look through its mesh fence and see water-hens and their little fluffy chicks swimming by.
