Birds in your backyard are a sure sign of spring, as they start to settle down for the breeding season.
But there’s another place avian life has always been noticeable – in Shakespeare’s plays! The Bard is known to have written more about birds than any other recorded poet. And he wasn’t picky – from doves to turkeys and crows, dozens of feathery thespians cameo in his plays.
For instance, a common bird whose feathers are used in pillows and some quilts, appears in Pericles (17-Across). Another species of avian life that is found around the world – even in the UAE – features in The Merchant of Venice (19-Across).
So, enjoy bird spotting in today’s crossword, with the Bard for company.
