Birds Are Like Human Beinus

Canaries, like Human beings, vary
very much in character. some cocks be.
ing so indifferent and idle that they
will let the hen do all the work OF
building and rearing, while they them
selves sit and plume their feathers.
Others, again, are perfect gentlemen in
their manners, waiting on the hen with
quiet courtesy and seeing that all she
requires is at once brought to her.
Again, the hens vary in disposition,
some hens behaving in a quiet modest
way, attending TO their young ones
with regularity, while others are in
constant state of chatter with their
husbands, pecking and arguing with
them every time they so near. Thus
we see that these little birds have their
tits and domestic quarrels, not unlike
ourselves.-Chambers' Journal.
