The African Honey Bird.

The honey bird is about as large as
a gray mocking bird and similar in
color. It endeavOrs to attract the at
tention of travellers and to induce them
to follow it. When it succeeds thus
far, it almost invariably leads the per-
son who follows to nest of wild bees.
While on the route it keeps up an in
cessant twittering, as if to assure it's
follower of success, and often alights
on the ground or bush and looks back
to see if the person is still in pursuit.
The native Africans, when conducted
by the bird, frequently answers its
twittering with a whistle as they pro-
ceed, for The purpose Of signifying their
conductor that they are still following.
When the bird arrives at the hollow
tree or other place where the honey is
it hovers over the spot,
points to the deposit with its bill and

While the little one clung around its
