A few weeks later, the birds4 again. I found them crouching(蜷缩) beside a tree off to the side of the path. As I moved nearer to them,I imagined that they would 5 like they did last time. But 6 they stuck out their heads and made a threatening(威胁的) croaking(呱呱叫) sound. It seemed to warn me not to go any7 .
