Mr.. Hf1uger Interested in Birds
Sent Down Here.
Will anyone who sees or hears of
the hooking birds turned loose at the
Queens Hospital be kind enough to
notify this office? This is the sugges-
ton of Ed. Dekum, correspondent of
C. F. Pfuger, the Portland gentleman
who furnished the birds.
Mr.. Pf1uger writes that the one bird
killed by minahs was probably unable
to fly. He knows both birds and says
hooking bird in proper trim will whip
a minah Mr.. Pfuger says he may be
coming back to Hawaii again next year
and that if he makes the trip he will
bring along a lot of hooking birds
Ed Dekum's father and Mr.. Pfuge1
were the leaders in the Introduction OF
hooking birds and other sweet and
harmless singers of the feathered tribe
into Oregon. The Portland man has
also sent some seeds to Hawaii.
