The Peculiar Prison BIRD.

The popularity of the prison bird,
feathered beauty Of Africa, is that he
Is the most tyrannical and jealous of
husbands, imprisoning his mate
throughout her nesting time Living
stone watched the birds habits while
IN Monpour and IN his subsequent OBJ
servations referred TO the nest as
prison and the female bird as slave.
The nest is built In the hollow of a
tree through an opening in the bark.
AS soon as it is completed the mother
bird enters carefully and fearfully and
settles down in Ii. Then papa walls
up the opening, leaving only just space
enough for air and food to pass
through. He keeps faithful guard and
brings food at regular intervals with
out fail. The female thrives under her
enforced retirement. But If the prison
bird is killed or ia any other way pre-
vented from fulfilling his duties the
mother and her little ones must die OF
starvation. for she cannot free herself
from bondage.
Normally the Imprisonment lasts un-
