BIRDS THAT DO NOT SING.



AitAossh They All utter vocal sesnds
q soas Kind.
Singing 10 applied to birds In tho
same sense that IL IL to human beings
the utterance of musical notes. Every
person makes vocal sounds Of some
kind, but many persons never attempts
10 sing. So it In with birds The eagle
screams the owl boots, the wild goose
honks, the crow caws. but none OF these
discordant sounds can be called singing.
With the poet the singing of birds
means merry. light hearted joyoushess,
and most Of us are poetic enough to
view IL In the same way. Birds sing
most in the spring and the early sum.
mer, those happiest seasons OF the year,
while employed in nest building and In
rearing their young. Many Of our moss
musical singers arc silent all the rest OF
the year; at least they utter only low
chirpinga It Is natural, therefore, that
lovers Of birds should regard their sing
ing az purely an expression Of JOY in
the returning spring and in their hap
by occupations
Outside Of what are properly classed
ms song birds there are many species
that never pretend to sing--in fact,
these far outnumber tho musicians.
They include the water birds OF every
kind, both swimmers and waders; all
the birds Of prey, eagles, hawks, owls
and vultures. and all the gallinaceous
tribes. comprising pheasants cartridges,
turkeys and chickens The gobble OF
the turkey cock, tho defiant crow OF tho
rooster and even tho musical call OF the
"bobwhite' arc none Of them true
singing, yet 1t is quite probable that all
Of these sounds arc uttered with pre-.
cisely similar motives to those that in
spire the sweet warbling Of the song
sparrow, the clear whistle Of thu robin
or tho thrilling music Of the wood
thrush.
But naturalists have set apart very
large group as song birds, and even
among these there are many species
that never sing ut all. Birds are group
ed according to their anatomical char
acteristics, the structure Of their bones,
bills, feet and wings And thus We
have the songless song birds. looking ut

do well to see that such q tub gets a

for about an hour. Then rub 1t of, and
polish the marble with alcohol.-Good
