Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow : (9-15) Usually the first question I ask a newbie birder is, "What do you think is the most important physical requisite to be a birder? Your eyes, your ears, your nose or any other?" Most often, the answer is "eyes", but several do home into what is the most important faculty - at least, according to me : your ears. Spotting birds in foliage is hard enough, but if you hear them, you know they are there. But early the other morning, I realised it went much beyond that. The first bird call I heard as I left the house for my walk was the madcap ringing laugh of black-romped flame back, earlier known as the golden-backed woodpecker. It was a wild, exultant laugh that set the tone and mood for the entire day. And then I relished that every bird call evokes a different reaction, memory or emotion in the listener. Indian mynas, for example, invariably remind me of people in Delhi-always ready to argue and pick a fight, belligerent and in your face. Yet, they taught me not to make sweeping generalizations because when a pair perch on the window sill in they have meaningful civilized conversation with each other. There is inquiry, hum our and affection in their voices. Why should a birder have sharp ears?
