,RIMINALS AMONG BIR]
CRIMINALS AMONG BIRDS.
Some Feathered Beauties Have Murderous
Traits

When we think of bird as the
Happy singing creature of the air."
II is hard to associate with it any I'M
pleasant attributes or characteristics. A
hawk sails around among the white
clouds, and. suddenly slanting it's
wings, slides down the air like a me-
teor and strikes its prey-perhaps some
small bird. We cannot, says a writer
in the New York Evening Post, call
this criminal any more than the action
of the butcher who kills COW or a
sheep for our markets. Even less
would we think of applying such an
who gives us wonderful displays of
delicate judgment as he grasps his
prey with unerring aim in its watery
element. Rising triumphantly, he be-
gins to circle upward, when suddenly
he shrieks with rage and fear, and we
soon see the cause of this as a tiny
speck in the air grows larger and our
noble Cd American eagle comes swift
ly on towards the hawk. Then begins
a trial OF Wing-power to see which can
keep above the other, but it usually
results in the favor of the empty-claw-
ed eagle. The hawk is compelled to
drop its fish, and the eagle swoops af-
ter its ill-earned booty, and flies off
to its nesting cliff. The osprey screams

is the case among some birds. An in

low stump, after an honest night hunt

more condemn him than ourselves for
our dinner of roast chicken. Hardly

tie ball of bones and fur-and settled

hungry, prying blue jay looks in upon
him. Almost paralyzed with fright, the
lay fees from the tree, and when at a
safe distance, his courage returns suf-
nclently to scream and yell "Robberi
Thief" When enough of his friends
gather, he perhaps dares to return to
the tree where the kissing, squirting,
little fluffy owl is concealed. What.
pray, led the jay to look into this hole
in the first place? What but the hope
of finding the eggs or helpless young
of some small bird. If the parents were
not around, these would be gobbled in
haste, the piteous gaping of the nest
lings having no effect upon this gaudy
cannibal. All of the crows and Jays
have this thievish strain, and the
crows will often take advantage of the
fact that blackbirds build in the sides
or the fshhawks' nests, when, depend
ing on their resemblance to their
smaller cousins, they sneak to the os-
preys nest, puncturs and suck the
eggs, while the parents are away fah-

The cowbird is the worst violator of
the laws of the household among birds,
although the European cuckoo is a
close second. Not only does the fe-
male foist her eggs upon other moth
ers, but her selfishnes goes farther and
she sometimes throws out the eggs of
the r1ghtful owner so that her off,
spring may receive all the attention
of the deluded parents. Our little yell
low warbler occasionally defeats the
cowbird's purpose by building a second
story over the strange egg, thus leav-
ing it to rot in the cold lower por-

is a chip of the old block, and either
deliberately shoulders his nest-mates
over the rim or stands on them and
takes every particle of food for him.

The shrike or butcher-bird has the
habit of spikeing it's food-grasshop-
pers and small snakes-upon thorns.
This is very commendable fore
thought. but it becomes a vice when
the bird keeps on and on, killing dozens
more than it can possibly eat.
Birds which have paired for the sea-
son are usually very sincere in their
affections and seldom desert one an
other, indeed some birds are said to
mate for life. But if one or. the other

The individuality of birds is so pro-
nounced that criminal traits will often
crop out in family, or even in an
individual. AS an example OF family
crime, the first instalment of snake
birds which arrived at the Geological
Park made life miserable for their
keepers, other birds, and even each
other. Quarrelsome and treacherous,
they could never be trusted, but were
always looking for a chance to pick
out the eye of some sleeping bird, and
when this failed they even swan UNI
der water and transfixed the feet and
legs of some swimming duck, doing
this apparently from pure deviltry.
They gradually killed each other off
and the last remaining male died after
two weeks of solitary life, probably
from lack of something on which he
could vent his evil nature Five birds
of this species have recently been le-
ceived whose dispositions are as differ
ent as can be imagined. Although
there are four males and only one fe-
male, yet all get along pleasantly and
there has been no attempt to modest
other birds.
AS to tn eindividual felons, several
examples have been noticed lately, al
though birds taken as a whole are
wonderfully tolerant of each other.
Seven catbirds were reared last year
from the nest and since that time they
have lived peacefully with the fifty or
sixty other native birds in the same
cage. Not long ago one bird developed
a bad temper and began chasing the
birds around and moping by himself
much of the time, while the other cat
birds as usual mingled freely with
their companions. One morning two
birds. goldfnch and an ovenbird were
found dead, their heads almost torn
of, and another was found the follow
ing day. Not long after this the rascal
was caught at his work. red-handed,

selves.
Very rarely. a cageful of birds will
attack one of their number and worry
or kill it, but we must not be too read y
to condemn this as an instance of pure
cruelty or crime. as we think of those
words, for there may very likely be
some extenuating circumstance of
which we know nothing In the few
cases of this nature which have been
carefully investigated at the Geological
Park, it was found that the bird itself
had been cowardly acting the bully to-
wards some weaker birds. or that it
had some disease which made its death
desirable as protection against the
health of the other birds.
