Parrots---their Cunning.

To the aptitude with which parrots
aud other talking birds apply their re-
qurements have already slightly all
luded, and here give some further ex-
ampIes, which have come to my knoWl-
edge from undoubled sources, or IN
which have had personal experie nee.
My readers can Judge for themselves how
far the birds we're conscious that what
they said was adapted to the circum-
stances
One of my earliest recollections was a
gray parrot, belonging to an old lady
who had taken charge Of my mother
childhood, aud which had been present
ed To her 10y her husband. This parrot
had lost one of its legs, and no sooner
did any one remark this, or ask now Il
had been lost, than 1t replied, 81 lost
my leg in the merchants service pray
remember the lame" 1t was frequently
hung up ia its cage outside the house,
where its great delight was to whistle
the dogs around It, aud stop the teams
of horses which went past, or made them
go on when they stopped, which they
frequently did as they mounted the hill
where it lived, on all which occasions II
chuckled aud laughed with delight
la the same country town lived ia

Representatives were not the upholders
