Birds without wings are found in
New Zealand and Australia. Kiwi is
the name Of one species. beautiful
mats are made of the feathers of the
white variety, but 1t takes ten years
and more to collect enough feathers to
make even small mat which would
sell for about $50.
Birds without song belong to IIa-
waii. In Honolulu one sees a bird
about the size of the robin, an indie
pendent sort of fellow, that walks
about like chicken, instead of hop
ping like Il we'll trained bird of the
United States. and it has no song.
\ bird that walks and SwimS, but
does not fly, is The penguin. No nests
are made by pcnguinS, but the one egg
laid at Il time by the mother Is carried
about under her absurd little wing or
under her leg.
The largest of flight birds Is the Calf
folnia Nulturr or condor, measuring
from tipto tip ~ to 10 feet and exceed
