DO Robins l;et intoxicated.

A New York sporting paper some
time since stated that the robin does
not show himself much in Southern lat
itudes until the berry Of the China tree
is ripe, and then partakes Of it literally,
becomes intoxicated from the alcoholic
quality Of the berry. and often falls to
the ground in M unconscious state.
The Atlanta Constitution defends the
bird against this slander, as follows :
Observation has convinced us that the
antics Of the robins are the result Of
s,.tiocation, and not intoxication. The
conformation Of the birds neck is such
that food must pass directly across the
windpipe to reach its destination, and
in the case Of a china berry this journey
is rather troublesome to the bird. The
berry lodges against the windpipe, and
the attempts to swallow it result in snf.
