Many birds are choked to death by
trying to swallow more han they are
capable of. Hunters tell many tales of
how they have found birds in the act
of choking to death. and others that
have died with the morsel half way
down the throat, writes George L.
Walsh. Birds that live on other
creatures are the most likely to be
choked in swallowing their food. They
cannot always judge the size of the
toad or fish they capture, and in the
greed OF the moment they gulp it
down. Herons have even attempted to
swallow water rats. which naturally
make a difficult mouthful for them.
Fish hawks and gulls often attempt to
swallow fish too large for their throat.
and while they generally disgorge their
meal, they occasionally get caught
and die from the effects of their greed.
When one of them gets a fish too
large for Its throat stuck half way
down 1t becomes helpless and unable to
fly, and 1t generally seeks some rest
ing place. Herons have been known
TO impale hawks on their bills, and
the two have died together.-Detroit
