THE INGENUITY OF BrRDs.--Jesse, IN
in his Gleanings in Natural History"
states that thrushes feed very much on
snails. Having frequently observed
some broken snail shells near two pro-
jecting pebbles on gravel walk, which
had hollow between them, he endea-
vored TO discover the occasion Of their
being brought to that situation. At last
he saw a thrush fly to the spot, with
snail shell in his mouth, which he placed
between the two stones, and hamrnersd
at it with his beak, till he had broken it.
and vas then able to feed on it's contents.
The bird must have discovered that he
could not apply his break with sufficient
force TO break the shell when II was roi-
ling about, and he therefore found and
made use Of spot which would keep
he shell in one position. When the
lapwing wants 10 procure food, it seeks
for q worms cast, or hole, and stamps
the ground by the side Of ii with its feet.
in order to procure worms for fishing.
After dong this for short time, the bird
waits for the issue of the warm from its
hole. which, alarmed. at the shaking of
the ground, endeavors 10 make its escape,
whela II il Immediately seized, and be-
comes the prey o. The ingenious bird.
The lapwing alsso frequents the haunts
Of mcles. The animal, wheia IL pursuit
Of worms, On which It Feeds, fFightens
them, and the worm, hi attempting to
escape, comes TO the surface Of the
grcuslds Where i il seized BY the lap
wing. The sans mode pc alsrming bis
