One of the most interesting birds who ever lived in my bird house was a blue jay named Jakie. He was very busy from morning till night. Poor little fellow! He had been stolen from the nest before he could fly, and looked after in a house long before he was given to me. Of course, he could not be set free, for he did not know how to take care of himself. Blue jays are very active birds, and since Jakie was shut up in a room, he had to find things to do, to keep himself busy. If he had been allowed to fly outside, he would have found plenty to do,saving acorns and nuts for a rainy day, nesting, and bringing up baby blue jays. Sometimes I thought he was mischievous, because he did naughty things such as hammering the wooden window frame to pieces, tearing bits out of the pages of books, working holes in chair seats, or pounding a cardboard box to pieces. However, how is a poor little bird to know what mischief is? Many things that Jakie did were very interesting. For instance, he made it his business to clear up the room. When he had more food than he could eat, he did not leave it around, he saved it in some corner. He was a timid little fellow. If there was wind or a storm outside the windows, he went wild with fear.He would fly around the room, squawking at the top of his voice. Once I brought a Christmas tree into the house but my poor little blue jay, seemed afraid of it. Jakie was very devoted to me. He always greeted me with a low, sweet chatter, and if he was out of the cage, he would come on to the back of my chair. Then he would touch my cheek or lips very gently with his beak, or offer me a bit of food if he had any; and to me alone when no one else was near, he sang a low, beautiful song. From which point of view is the passage written? A. first person B. third person C. second person D. It shifts from third person to first person.
