Among many of the game birds. such
as the grouse and quail, similar dances
have been observed by those who have
followed them and watched them unob-
served; and in many eases the dances ap-
pear to correspond to the games and
sports INDUCED in by human beings on
the islands off the coast of Southern Cal
ifornia large bands of ravens have for
centuries made their home, and at GER
tain times they have been observed TO
go through performances in many ways
remarkable. friend of the writer, no.
ticing that q large flock frequented
certain canon, followed them. and from
his place of concealmeEt in the brush saw
the black birds marching up and down
the deep gulch and repeatedly turning
sOmersaults, after the manner of tumble
pigeons. There was this difference that
the pigeons cannot help it, while the
ravens were enjoying II as a sport and a
pastima.
Perhaps the most aesthetic dancer among
the birds is the famous gardener bird of
Borneo, which has been seen TO perform A
slow and dignified minuet on the lawn
which it makes in front of its house.
was first reported il was considered as
a canard or the joke of some native story
teller; but investigation proved that IL was
true, and several observers have testified
10 the correctness of the story as original
~ related by the Italian naturalist who
was its discoverer.
The bird builds its nest in trees, but not
far away It erects a perfect house. that Is
so like human habitation in miniature
that those who have observed them were
at first convinced that they were the work
of native children. In the construction
of the house the bird selects a tree, and
about it places the stalks of a peculiar
fern, arranging them in regular layers
and leaving small door upon one side
The ferns take root in the soil, the lateral
leaves and branches join one with the
other, and a perfect waterproof roofing
is the result.
In front of the door the bird clears away
the leaves and refuse for several square
feet, and in some way encourages the
growth of fine grass which in time pro
duces lawn, which, with the rich green
of the fern leaves, forms a conspicuous
object in the forest. On this green sward
the bird has been seen to move about in
what has been termed the measures OF a
dance, and every day il brings fresh flow
ers, highly colored buds, shells and attrac-
tive objects of all kinds, which IL distrib.
utes about, always removing them as they
fade to the rear of the building, where a
pile has always been found by those who
have seen one of the houses. The house
has no connection with the nest, and is a
pleasure resort. pure and simple, where
the bird INDUCES in the aesthetic enjoy
ments of a contemplation of the beauti-
tul. Such instances and there are many
suggest that all animal life is actuated by
similar motives, the differences being
mainly in degree.
