If an old English writer be true in
his observations, the pheasant must
be very simple bird, for he declares
that it puts it's head in the ground
and thinks that all it's body is then
hidden. This is just what our old
friend the ostrich does in the African
desert. The same author says that it
was also captured by another
curious plan. A picture of the
bird was painted on cloth and
then placed in a spot where
it was sure of being seen. By and by
a silly pheasant coming along catches
sight of the portrait and goes up to
have a close view of the new neighbor.
