Bird Intelligence.

During high wind one summer day
a young Oriole was thrown from its
nest to the ground 1t was picked up
by kind hands and kept in the house
TILL the storm was over and then placed
on the roof of the piazza. A watch
was kept behind the closed blinds of a
window near by to note proceedings
on the part of the parent birds. They
IN the meantime had seen the little one
borne away and had followed it to the
house, and. as it was kept near the
open window, its cries had appraised
them of it's whereabouts. They soon
came to it on the roof and lowered
about it, doing much talking and con-
sulting together.
Finally they alighted near the little
one, and the female slipped her wing
under it and seemed to urge some
course of acting upon the male, who
tidgeted about coming to the little one
spreading his wings over it, then fly
ing to a tree, when the female followed
him and brought him back and again
slipped a wing under the little one.
Finally he seemed to understand or
to get his nerve under control, and,
slipping his own wing under, together
they made a sort of cradle for the bird
ling, and, each tapping its free wing
they flew to the tree, bearing it to a
place of safety among the branches,
where it was lost sight of.-Boston
