The Aesthetic Oriole.

Two orioles We're building near the
house, and as soon as this was discovered
worsteds OF various kinds were put out,
one lot near the place where one bird was
building and a second lot close to where
the other bird was at work. Each lot "
worsted consisted Of pieces about two feet
long, nf the following colOrs; Gray, black,
brown, light blue, and light pink. In "A
little while il was noticed that one bird ad
exhausted all the blue worsted from the
supply near her, and that she seemed dis
satisfied with the other coluIs. After some
flying around she found the second lot
OF worstcd, from which the second was
taxing all the pink. From this place the
second bird imm ediately took all the
blue she could find, while the second
bird flew over and selected all the pink
which the first had refused
When these oolors were all gone the
others We're used. but not eagerly, and
whenever any more pink or blue was hung
out it was Immediately seized on by one
bird or the other. Time and again the
experiment was repeated of putting pink
or blue among the other colors, and every
time they were hunted out, each bird
choosing the color she originally pre-
ferred. IL was proof positive that one
bird wanted one color and one bird the
other
when the nests were finished one showed
a large patch of brilliant pink, while the
other showed a corresponding spot of
blue This would certainly indicate the
ability Of birds to distinguish color
